10,000 Indian government and military emails hacked India’s government and military have suffered one of the worst cyber attacks in the nation’s history, after over 10,000 email accounts belonging to top officials were compromised, despite a warning from the country’s cyber security agency.

"This is not the first time when Indian government is under cyber attacks and being clueless about it, in past 294 Indian Government Websites were hacked at the beginning of 2012. The sites belong to various level of ministries within the Indian government setup."
To which extend were and are civil or military nuclear facilities compromised?
I'm honestly scared.
