It has been informed by the Foreign Secretary William Hague that the UK Government has become the latest victim of the Zeus cyber-attack.

Hague has said this in the 47th Munich Security Conference. He said that the attack happened in late December. It was contained in a series of emails that supposedly came from the White House with a link. This link downloaded a variant of Zeus.

Hague has also said that the UK Government was embattled in this attack and a large number of emails were avoiding some of their filters. The experts were able to set up the infection, but more complicated attacks have become very common now days.

Hague has offered to host a cyber security conference in this summer. This would investigate mechanisms for giving cyber standards real political and diplomatic weight.

Moreover, Hague has praised the internet as having absurd economic potential. He has also warned that there are several drawbacks of the cyber space as well.

Hague has said that, they believed that the time has come to look for international agreement on the usage of cyberspace.
