Exiled Tibetan Leaders Decry Malware Attack
Tibet's government-in-exile denounced a cyber-spy network last week for hacking into the organization's computers, while a scholar said the sophisticated operation may have helped identify those inside Tibet who speak to exile groups.
The exiled Tibetans were commenting on reports by a Canadian research group that the network, based mainly in China, hacked into classified documents from government and private organizations in 103 countries, including the computers of the Dalai Lama and Tibetan exiles.
"We are told that much of these viruses originate in China. We do not know if the Chinese government has any part in such activities," said Thupten Samphel, the official spokesperson of the Tibetan government-in-exile.
