The article you link to has an interesting comment from an Indian professor about the Chinese hacking 'culture'. The curious (and I'm sure unintended) thing about that comment is that it also seems applicable to similar spyware activity in India, as exemplified by email-attached spear-phishing malware recently found in Europe.

Perhaps even more than for what it does, this so-called KitM/HackBack/Kumar malware is interesting because it's signed with a valid Apple Developer ID, which bypasses the Gatekeeper security feature in Mac OS X Mountain Lion. The associated 'Rajinder Kumar' ID is another cue to a large cyberespionage campaign that appears to be originating in India, to which KitM has been linked. This campaign has targets of both national interest (Pakistan) and economic interest (Western industries), something so far mostly seen with attacks coming from China.
