The problem resides not with Norton, in this case. The problem resides with the Indian Army servers' security. Norton (and others, no doubt) were trying to sell their product to the Indian Army to improve its security. "No good deed goes unpunished", as the saying goes.
I wonder what else they managed to get. Hopefully not much, as India is a nuclear power.
I hope this has no ill effect on individual users, but I suspect it will depending on where they cruise and what they decide to open.... and install.
I also hope "Yama Tough" (real tough behind a keyboard, that is) gets nailed, but good.
