Cyber Security Hacks Will Increase

Date posted: 11th June 2015

President Barack Obama says the issue of Cyber Security hacks targeting the United States is going to increase.

Obama has a new focus on Cyber Security following the massive hack last week of U.S. government employees’ personnel files, described as the most significant cyber attack in U.S. history.

Obama says part of the problem is the U.S. has very old systems for detecting intrusions. He says the U.S. is upgrading old systems agency by agency to ensure that technology is up to date.

But Obama says the problem isn’t going away. He says both governments and individuals are “throwing everything they’ve got” at U.S. systems. Obama says that’s why the U.S. must be much more attentive to Cyber Security

Obama commented Monday in Germany at the close of a summit of the world’s leading democracies.
