Hackers target French Finance Ministry, G-20 plans

France's budget minister says hackers have infiltrated government computers in search of information about France's leadership of the Group of 20 leading economies. Francois Baroin says it's too early to say who was behind the attack in recent weeks and months on Finance Ministry e-mail accounts and servers.
He said on Europe-1 radio Monday that "it was the information about the G-20 that interested the hackers." France holds the rotating leadership of the G-20 this year and is hosting a series of meetings aimed at improving relations among the world's top economies, including the US and China.
