Hackers from china have compromised many google accounts of top US officials and other political leaders from Asian countries. Google made a statement regarding the issue saying that their own security systems have not been breached but individual accounts have been hacked through fraud. Google also notified the respective members and their governments regarding the breach. The matter becomes sensitive as these officials handle top secret information on classified subjects. The passwords were acquired through a internet practice called ‘spear phising’ which misguides an account user to provide his account information to the hacker who had created a page similar to that of google. Analyst say it is very hard to find if it was authorized by governments or done by individual hackers. The difference between the both would be that if it was carried out by a government it will not be considered as a cyber crime but cyber espionage. This comes in the wake of a statement issued by the White House which said an act of cyber terrorism will be met with real time military consequences.
Delhi HC had issued a notice to the centre and the city governments upon a PIL seeking a policy to reduce the number of inmates who are under trials for petty offenses.

The petition was filed asking for a policy framework upon such issues like releasing of prisoner who are imprisoned for offenses such as cheating and forgery on bail. The petition also said that the constitutional rights of these under trials are being violated and is an injustice to such persons being imprisoned based on administration of laws and rules. The court also sent a notice to the Director General of the Jail to file a response addressing the issue. The case becomes more interesting as the lawyer who filed the petition Vijay Aggarwal also represents some of the accused from the recent 2G scam who are also imprisoned in Tihar Jail. Many question are raised bringing up the case at this juncture than before when over crowding was always a problem.
