WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Energy has been hit by recent successful cyber attacks and needs to do more to protect its computer systems, the department’s internal watchdog said in a report on Monday.
The report by the department’s inspector general did not disclose who launched the cyber attacks or the consequences at four affected locations.
It also did not state explicitly that the National Nuclear Security Administration had been a target of the attacks, but the agency defended itself.
The National Nuclear Security Administration criticized the report for failing to recognize the effectiveness of its “layered” approach to cybersecurity, calling some of the problems identified in the report “isolated issues.”
