The Czech counter-intelligence service (BIS), along with other secret services, last year participated in the investigation into the attack on the information systems of the delegates to the G20 summit in Seoul, BIS says in its report for 2009. BIS reports that it uncovered a sophisticated attempt at cybernetic espionage in June of last year, when contact persons at various finance ministries received forged electronic mail containing a harmful code that would have compromised the security of the computers in question and the infrastructure of the attacked organisation. BIS did not report who was behind the attack, but says that a comprehensive analysis of the electronic attack and the harmful code itself has been carried out.
