Sources inside India’s Ministry of External Affairs confirm ‘several’ of 600 computers have been infected by spyware. The problem is said to affect computers inside the section of the Indian ministry which deals with sensitive Pakistani affairs. Staff have been ordered not to use personal email accounts in the office and avoid blogs and social networking websites in an attempt to avoid security being compromised. There has been speculation that this attack may be linked to China, however even if Chinese servers are involved that they may not necessarily be under the control of the Chinese authorities.”]
