August 24, 2016 11:17
Defence minister Manohar Parrikar said documents relating to the French Scorpene submarine being built in the country appeared to have been hacked, after an Australian newspaper reported a leak of thousands of pages detailing the vessel's top-secret capability.
"I understand there has been a case of hacking, we will find out what has happened," Manohar Parrikar told reporters. The submarines are being built at a state-run shipyard in Mumbai in collaboration with France's DCNS Group.
This (the report) came to my knowledge at 12 midnight, it is a case of hacking. Navy Chief has been asked to analyze as to what exactly has been leaked, Parrikar said.
The defence chief also said that the connection of data has to be identified and ascertained yet. "First step is to identify if its related to us, and anyway its not all 100% leak," he said.
