COMMENTS: Gates Needs Cyber Defenders
CBS anchor Katie Couric gave us a sneak preview of her 60 Minutes profile of Defense Secretary Robert Gates when she picked up on reports of espionage, possibly by the People's Republic of China, of design and electronics secrets in the new F-35 Lightning fighter jet. The spies, if successful, did so by hacking through the Pentagon's computer security. "We are under cyberattack virtually all the time, every day," Gates confessed. "Everyone else is under attack. Banks are under attack. Every country is under attack." In his new budget, Gates is requesting to increase his computer security staff fourfold.
