Nude pictures of former French first lady Carla Bruni were used to break in to the computer systems of dozens of diplomats, it emerged today.
The shocking security breach was first discovered at the G20 summit in Paris in February 2011 and may be ongoing.
‘To see naked pictures of Carla Bruni click here’ said a message sent to those attending, who included finance ministers and central bank representatives.
This prompted many to open an attachment which turned out to be a ‘Trojan Horse’ with an embedded virus, although all recipients could see were the X-rated photographs.
‘Almost everybody who received the email took the bait,’ said a government source in Paris, saying that this included representatives from the Czech Republic, Portugal, Bulgaria, Hungary and Latvia.
The so-called phishing attacks are thought to have originated in China and were aimed at extracting information.
The attacks are still being investigated, and nobody is yet sure what information was extracted.
America is thought to have been the main target of the scam.
