Recent events seem to implicate China as being unwilling to crack down on cyberattackers, if not actually directing and supporting their activities, but that may be an oversimplification of the problem.

The latest case, revealed by researchers in the U.S. and Canada, was announced late Monday. Eight months of investigation have dragged a Web spy ring known as "Shadow" into the sunlight, but not before emails and personal information were stolen from the private and public sector in India -- including from its Defense Ministry -- along with the offices of the Dalai Lama, the United Nations and the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan.
