Shimla: Dharamsala, home to the Tibetan government-in-exile, is finding itself at the centre of a controversy regarding an alleged Chinese cyber spying network.

In fact, the spy network was unearthed after the office of the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala initially contacted researchers for help check their systems for possible walware. Researchers in Britain and Canada have revealed the existence of the so-called GhostNet network that has been gathering information from governments and private organisations.
