“A massive cyber espionage network has infiltrated the
Indian government and also hacked into a year’s worth of the Dalai
Lama’s emails, according to a team of computer security experts
co-led by University of Toronto researchers.

“The China-based espionage group penetrated government, academic
and business computers in India, including those in the Indian
national security establishment. A report on the spy operation,
released Monday evening, found countries around the world have been
affected.

“The group of researchers from Canada and the U.S. were able to
verify and recover over 700 documents that were stolen from the
Indian government, including documents that were listed as
restricted, classified and secret.”
