Christmas breakthrough: Chinese hackers broke into NSA, service chiefs' comps
US NSA is as you know, famous Google security adviser.
More than 200 computers belonging to top-ranking government officials, including the three service chiefs and former India national security advisor (NSA) MK Narayanan, were compromised in the hacking operation that originated in China on December 15, it has emerged. Narayanan has been heavily criticized in leading up to the Mumbai terrorists attacks !
Sources disclose that the computer of at least one service chief was totally compromised as he opened the malicious mail sent with a PDF document carrying a hidden ‘trojan’ spyware.
LATEST: China has closed what it claims to be the largest hacker training website in the country and arrested three of its members, domestic media reported on Monday.
BAD HARDWARE: The only consolation is that they were not the terrorists. Though, hm, even those could buy in the black market what they can't brake themself, isn't it?
This time, Chinese hackers used botnet servers based in Russia to launch the attack on computers of government officials. Copy?
