Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday said the U.S. hasn’t done enough to prepare for cyberattacks but that the Justice Department would “take very seriously” the creation of a multiyear plan to deal with the threat.
“I don’t want to be alarmist, but I think the concern that you have expressed over the years is well-founded,” Holder told Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D., R.I.) in response to a question at a routine Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
“This nation needs to be afraid of where we could be after a cyberattack,” he said.
Holder said he expects the threat to increase, and that the U.S. hasn’t devoted enough resources to the problem.
“Our nation is at risk. Our infrastructure is at risk. And we as a nation, I think, have not adequately responded to it,” he said. “It is only going to get worse. The danger is only going to be heightened.”
