China has been accused of conducting a long-term cyber attack on India's power grid, and has been implicated in cyber attacks against targets in Ukraine.
Cybersecurity firm Insikt Group found network intrusions at seven Indian State Load Dispatch Centers that conduct real-time operations for grid control and electricity dispatch, according to a report released Wednesday.
Insikt stated that in addition to attacking grid assets, the operation impacted a national emergency response team and the Indian subsidiary of a logistics company.
Foreign spokesperson Zhao Lijian asserted that China firmly opposed all forms of cyber attacks, in accordance with the law.
The past few weeks have also brought a string of reported attacks emanating from China against targets in Ukraine.
American enterprise security company Proofpoint also identified ongoing threat activity from China last month.
