Chinese hackers may have spied on S-E Asia, India since 2005
FireEye: Operations focused on govt, commercial targets who hold key political, economic and military info about region
London
HACKERS, most likely from China, have been spying on governments and businesses in South-east Asia and India uninterrupted for a decade, researchers at Internet security company FireEye Inc said.
In a report released on Monday, FireEye said that the cyber espionage operations dated back to at least 2005 and "focused on targets - government and commercial - who hold key political, economic and military information about the region". "Such a sustained, planned development effort coupled with the (hacking) group's regional targets and mission, lead us to believe that this activity is state-sponsored - most likely the Chinese government," the report's authors said.
