Defence minister A.K. Antony on Wednesday ordered defence secretary Shashi Kant Sharma to submit a report to him on a matter involving a media report that alleged that Chinese hackers had hacked into sensitive files of the Cabinet Committee on Security and the Defence Research and Development Organi-sation, even as the DRDO stated that no such breach of security had been detected. Intelligence agencies are understood to be examining the matter. “With reference to the reports circulating in certain sections of media, it is stated that as per available information no incident of breach of security of DRDO’s computers has come to notice. Appropriate measures are in place for safety and security of computer systems,” the Defence Research and Development Organisation said on Wednesday.
