Hackers invade servers of Indian embassy in Paris
Anonymous cyber hackers allegedly invaded the servers of the Indian embassy office in Paris and walked away with loads of official documents last month. The hackers later posted all the files, including a proposal to rope in Airbus for the indigenous manufacturing of civilian aircraft and visits of senior bureaucrats, ministers and intelligence officials to France, on a website to show how vulnerable the servers are.
The hacker on the post claimed these files were stored on computers within the ministry of external affairs' servers worldwide. The government agencies have now launched an investigating into the matter.
"No highly sensitive document seems to have been stolen but if the hackers have been able to breach the secure servers, it is a matter of serious concern. We have alerted the various government departments. We are also investigating the origin of attack and how these documents found their way into the public domain," a source said.
