U.S. Unprepared to Fight Cyber Attacks, Report Says

The U.S. government's ability to counter cyber attacks against its nonmilitary computer systems is largely ineffective, according to a report from an internal watchdog. The Homeland Security Department branch that monitors cyber attacks can't force other agencies to protect their systems, is woefully understaffed and its ability to manage responses to cyber attacks has been hindered by constant turnover, said the department's inspector general.
