They did this through trojans and spyware. This is typical Windows activity. Recently the sophisticated virus (can't recollect the name) wrecked havoc in India, Iran etc. and was specifically written for Siemens hardware used in nuclear environments. The virus spread through pen drives. Again this is the Windows related activity. India has tremendous talent and potential to develop its own weapons and sophisticated systems but we still have to learn to organize international sporting events without becoming laughing stocks and objects of ridicule in the International media. -- As a proper list etiquette...
