Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Monday she would consider having tech companies participate with the government in “proactive” efforts to combat hackers based in foreign countries.
Napolitano, who made the comments during a meeting at the San Jose Mercury News with the editorial board and reporters, declined to say what steps corporations and federal agencies might take against foreign cybercrooks, who have been blamed for numerous computerized incursions against the United States. She made the remarks in response to a question, and emphasized the idea is merely one she would consider and that no decisions have been made.
