Bahrain ministry servers hacked
| Hackers have been targeting the servers of the computer network of the external affairs ministry from time to time, but there has been no breach of classified information, official sources said yesterday. The government has traced a recent hacking of the ministry’s computer network to some Chinese IP addresses, but is not sure about the antecedents of hackers or whether they have any links with the Chinese government, the source here said. “There is nothing new in it. It’s been going on for the last five years, but as the government has put safeguards in place no sensitive information has leaked out,” the source added. “Not all of the hackers are Chinese. Some IP addresses were also traced to Americans and Europeans,” he said. The ministry routinely conducts audit of the safety of its computer network to prevent hackers from succeeding. |
