Cyber Spies Hack Govt PCs Around The WorldIt claims 1,295 computers have been compromised in 103 countries.
The investigations began when the Tibetan community in exile called in the Information Warfare Monitor, fearing they had fallen victim to cyber espionage.
The 10-month study eventually revealed a much wider network of compromised machines but did not pinpoint the identity or reasons behind it.
However, it did ascertain that once hackersinfiltrated systems they gained control of the computers using malicious software, or malware.
This allowed cyber spies to send and receive information from the ministries of foreign affairs of Iran, Bangladesh, Latvia, Indonesia, Philippines, Brunei, Barbados and Bhutan.
They also discovered hacked systems in the embassies of India, South Korea, Indonesia, Romania, Cyprus, Malta, Thailand, Taiwan, Portugal, Germany and Pakistan.
Two Cambridge University researchers who assisted the investigation said malware attacks can collect "actionable intelligence for use by the police and security services of a repressive state, with potentially fatal consequences for those exposed."
Stopping such attacks is difficult because defences in government agencies involve expensive and tedious operational security procedures, the researchers added.
