There's been a bunch of news regarding a new report published indicating a wide spread Chinese espionage network dubbed 'ghostnet'. From the paper

"This report documents the GhostNet - a suspected cyber espionage network of over 1,295 infected computers in 103 countries, 30% of which are high-value targets, including ministries of foreign affairs, embassies, international organizations, news media, and NGOs."

Most of the news articles aren't linking directly to the paper which I've been kind enough to link below.
