<incom> Tibetan Hacking Attacks - Paper from ironcove.net

[peter at ironcove.net]

Over the past 2 months there has been a significant number of targeted
hacking attacks against Tibetan NGO's and individuals. The origin of
these internet based attacks is unclear, however one of the goals does
appear to be collection of data from compromised end user PC's.

I have put together a paper covering the recent attacks and some
recommendations for avoiding such attacks that includes the use of
Linux on the desktop. These types of highly skilled and targeted
attacks are relevant to any nonprofit organisation and particularly
organisations that may be seen as a threat to political organisations
or governments who would have the resources to launch such attacks.
