Government computer systems have been hacked into by foreign governments, the chief of New Zealand's intelligence agency says.

Government departments Web sites have been attacked, information has been stolen and hard-to-detect software has been installed that could be used to take control of computer systems, Security Intelligence Service director Warren Tucker is quoted as saying in The Dominion Post on Tuesday.

In his first interview since taking up the post in November, Mr Tucker told the Wellington-based newspaper there was evidence that foreign governments were responsible for the attacks.

He would not discuss what country was responsible but referred to comments by Canada's security service about Chinese spying activities.
