The
Shadow Network is a China-based computer espionage operation that stole classified documents and emails from the
Indian government, the office of the
Dalai Lama, and other high-level government networks. This is the second
cyber espionage operation of this sort discovered by researchers at the
Information Warfare Monitor, following the discovery of
GhostNet in March 2009. The Shadow Network report “Shadows in the Cloud: Investigating Cyber Espionage 2.0” was released 6 April 2010, approximately one year after the publication of “
Tracking GhostNet".
