General Cites Attacks on Military Computers
“Computer networks essential to the Pentagon and military are attacked by individual hackers, criminal groups and nations hundreds of thousands of times every day, according to the officer nominated to lead a cyberwarfare command.
The officer, Lt. Gen. Keith B. Alexander, said Thursday that one crucial reason that Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates created a Cyber Command was ‘the amount of attacks that we’re seeing coming into the Defense Department gateways every day.’ “
