Information technology security solutions firm Trend Micro has claimed that a Chinese hacker is responsible for cyber attacks on Government of India, military research organisations and shipping companies.
In its latest report, Trend Micro said there were systematic attacks on at least 233 personal computers in the last few weeks,
According to Mr Baburaj Varma, Head (Technical Services - India and SAARC of Trend Micro, at least 30 computer systems of Tibetan advocacy groups have been attacked so far. “The espionage has been going on for at least 10 months and is continuing. This was not the only attack that was started and is stopped. It is a continuous effort by the cyber criminals to attack Government Web sites and Defence authorities in India,” he said.
A breach of computers belonging to companies in Japan and India and to Tibetan activists has been linked to a former graduate student at a Chinese university. The attacks were connected to an online alias, Trend Micro Researchers said.
The researchers, however, did not link the attacks directly to government-employed hackers, a Trend Micro statement said here on Friday.
