The recent report that Secret defense communication codes have been stolen, the theft happened nine months ago and the codes haven't been changed yet is true but according to DRDO, WAR and IB officials, the impact of the same is minor. The DRDO, IB, and WAR are all very complacent and little clue on how much money foreign governments have poured in to extract every inch India’s intelligence secrets. The panic among these agencies is in the fact no body knows who is not a spy. The Indian defence establishment's encrypted communication codes have been stolen. What's more, the theft happened nearly nine months ago but the codes haven't been changed yet. So, foreign intelligence agencies could well be tapping into "secret" conversations over some "secure" communication networks for Indian defense and security officers. Sources say the "theft" of 18 to 20 computers from Defence Research and Development Organisation's Scientific Analysis Group (SAG) and Institute for Systems Studies and Analyses (ISSA), located at Metcalfe House in north Delhi, on the night of October 4-5, 2003, was not just an "ordinary burglary". The stolen computers, as a matter of fact, stored encryption codes, algorithms and other vital data on which, among other things, a large chunk of the "secure" telecommunication links of different government agencies run, said sources. "The armed forces, for one, feel their encryption has been severely compromised by this incident...some of the systems are now being changed," they said. 

Recently the foreign intelligence agencies have put special effort on targeting India because India is an upcoming superpower and of course an established nuclear power with full Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Capabilities. The problem is that the intelligence officials in India make so little money; it is very easy to buy them out. The Government needs to increase the surveillance system on these agencies. It is very difficult to achieve this if the international intelligence agencies are determined to recruit innumerable double agents. 

India needs to be much more aggressive in recruiting double agents. In addition, it needs a huge budget to fund these. For example a dual agent from West may cost in millions.
