Tuesday, Sec. Michael Chertoff stressed cyber-security issues during a talk at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce saying, “Cyber-security will be a major priority for the next Administration.”
Sec. Chertoff detailed a recent case where over 40 million credit card numbers were compromised to steal millions of dollars from Americans. The ring used a technique called “war driving” to access retailer’s networks remotely from mobile vehicles and plant sniffers on their networks to collect customer’s credit card and account information.
The Secretary went on to detail the department’s ongoing cyber-security initiatives to the packed room of business leaders.
