Cybersecurity Attacks On Utilities And Other Industries Have Tripled In One Year

Homeland Security officials said the methods of cyber attack are also growing more sophisticated. Deputy Undersecretary Greg Shaffer, who gave reporters a tour of the Idaho National Laboratory, said it has responded to 342 calls for help so far this year, compared to 116 last year. The lab houses an emergency response team and a watch-and-warning center. It employs cyber experts who test systems for weaknesses and analyze samples of malware.
