(Bloomberg) — Attorney General Loretta Lynch today urged greater cooperation between the government and private industry to combat computer hackers, a key component of a new cyber- attack playbook released by the Justice Department.
Speaking to a gathering of government and industry leaders in Washington, Lynch said that stopping cybercrooks and spies is one of her top priorities.
"Theft of consumer information and valuable intellectual property is not just a threat to our economy — it is also a danger to our national security," she said in one of her first public appearances since being sworn in on Monday. "We have a mutual and compelling interest in developing comprehensive strategies for confronting this threat and it is imperative that our strategies evolve along with those of the hackers searching for new areas of weakness."
