“The United States is losing enough data in cyber
attacks to fill the Library of Congress many times over, and
authorities have failed to stay ahead of the threat, a U.S. defense
official said on Wednesday.

“More than 100 foreign spy agencies were working to gain access
to U.S. computer systems, as were criminal organizations, said
James Miller, principal deputy under secretary of defense for
policy.

“Terrorist groups also had cyber attack capabilities.

millions of times a day,” Miller told a forum sponsored by Ogilvy
Washington, a public relations company.”
