Homeland Security Working to Fight Cyberattacks, Napolitano Says

The Obama administration is working “full-bore” on helping the business and government agencies confront the threat of cyberattacks, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said today.

Napolitano’s comments came two days after the Pentagon directly accused China’s military of probing U.S. government computers for sensitive data. That report follows comments in March by U.S. National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, who said China was engaged in a “large scale” effort to steal trade secrets and intellectual property.
