An electronic spy network, based mainly in China, has infiltrated computers from government offices around the world, Canadian researchers say.

They said the network had infiltrated 1,295 computers in 103 countries.

They included computers belonging to foreign ministries and embassies and those linked with the Dalai Lama - Tibet's spiritual leader.

There is no conclusive evidence China's government was behind it, researchers say. Beijing also denied involvement.

Hacked systems were also discovered in the embassies of India, South Korea, Indonesia, Romania, Cyprus, Malta,Thailand, Taiwan, Portugal, Germany and Pakistan.

It would be wise for all these hacked computers to remove all sensitive data and in their place leave freely accessible information on all that we believe is virtuous such as:
treatises on democracy
civil liberties documents
freedom of speech information
quotes from thoughtful avatars, philosophers and influencial teachers that we all value
etc...

When the 'snoopers' find nothing but freedom of access and only society's 'most valuable' information, they may soon come to understand what fools they have been.

Until all those being 'spied' upon learn that there is nothing of value 'to hide' from anyone then THEY will effectively be playing the fools.
