Hackers have infiltrated French government computers in search of information about France's leadership of the Group of 20 leading economies, the country's budget minister said Monday.
The head of France's network security agency said it was the biggest-ever hacker attack against the government.

Budget Minister 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.

"It was the information about the G-20 that interested the hackers," Baroin said in an interview on radio station Europe-1.

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 U.S. and China.
