The Pentagon will dramatically increase its cyber-security staff to counter threats against US government computer networks, according to media reports. US Cyber Command, established three years ago, could grow as much as fivefold over the next few years. The planned expansion comes amid a series of successful attacks, including a virus that wiped data from 30,000 computers at a Saudi oil firm. Cyber Command currently has 900 staff members, both military and civilian.
