Kaspersky: Cyber attack launched after MH370 went missing

SINGAPORE: Within four days after the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, a group of cybercriminals known as Naikon had apparently launched an “attack” on Malaysian authorities.

The group had attempted to infect the computers of government organisations, the navy, police and civil aviation departments in Malaysia and also other countries involved in the search for the plane, said computer security company Kaspersky Lab.
