Secretary for Security TK Lai says the Government has asked US authorities to give a full and comprehensive response to claims its agencies hacked into Hong Kong computer systems.
 
Speaking to the media today, Mr Lai said the Security Bureau wrote to the US government on June 21 seeking a clarification, and an explanation for the allegation, adding the Government is disappointed no reply has been received so far.
 
As Hong Kong is an international financial centre, he said Internet security, personal privacy and freedom of information is very important for the commercial sector and the public.
