Moscow: Sensitive information from the Indian embassy in Moscow appears to have been leaking to a foreign security outfit at least for the past two years, if documents released by an international hackers' group are to be believed.
Defence-related correspondence between the Indian embassy in Moscow and Russian entities seems to have been hacked by the Italian cybercrime police, said a report in the Moscow-based Izvestia daily.
The paper quoted from letters purportedly exchanged between the Indian embassy and Russian companies regarding supply of spares for Russian military aircraft. The letters have been posted online by ‘Anonymous Hackers for AntiSec operation,' a group campaigning against governments and security outfits.
The group said it hacked the documents from the server of Italy's National Anti-Crime Computer Centre for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CNAIPIC).
In a letter dated June 22, 2010, by Deputy Air Attache D.S. Shekhavat to the head of Aviazapchast, a company specialising in the supply of aviation spares, the Indian official complained about delays in the shipment of 15 helicopter engines. A reply from the Aviazapchast representative in India written on the same day was also hacked by the CNAIPIC.
