"Quoting unnamed government sources, a recent report by the Times of India -- the country's largest circulation daily newspaper -- said China has been mounting cyber attacks, particularly on government Web sites, for the past one year, adopting hacking and other intrusive methods. But over the last few months these attacks have become particularly fierce and almost daily. Many major attacks have been traced back to Internet Protocol addresses of servers in China believed to be under indirect control of the People's Liberation Army. These have included attacks on the National Informatics Centre, the information technology backbone of the Indian government, the Web site of the Ministry of External Affairs, and the Web site of the Cabinet secretariat."
