We also work because types of Cyber Threats can change the measures they put into place are also constantly evolving. Joining us now with more on this is nbc news justice correspondent, pete williams. All this started the first thing we all think about is some kind of a cyber attack that has been ruled out. How do they rule that out . The first thing the government look and the, took and thought of it quickly, the agencies that watch internet traffic basically take a snapshot when Something Like this happens and try to go back and look and see what happens happening in the moments beforehand. They were confident, based on what the companies were saying this was into the cyber attack, united quickly said they thought it was a technical problem with one of their pieces of equipment. The Stock Exchange hasnt formally yet said what it was, it could have been change in software the night before. It was a reminder every can be do better, private city can do better with its own systems and the government a lot to do too. We heard today from several government offings they three times asked congress to require companies to more quickly report information to the government when these things happen, when a cyber attack happens and three Times Congress has said. No the companies worry about intrusions on privacy worry about legal liability, Congress Just cant do it. Today even though they werent Cyber Attacks there were reminders for the government it would be nice to have that aauthority. Our systems are vulnerable respect they . No such thing as a system that cant be attacked. The question is do the company does well enough . I talked to Mike Chertoff today the former Homeland Security secretary, who said the good news is the energy sec to the financial sector, do pretty well but what he called uneven elsewhere more the companies can do more the government can do. A changing landscape constantly. Yes, all these systems are under attack 24 hours a day. All right. Pete williams, thanks for being with us. You bet.
