According to documents recently obtained by USA Today, the U.S. Department of Energy's networks were attacked 1,131 times and compromised 159 times between October 2010 and October 2014. The National Nuclear Security Administration, the agency responsible for managing the nation's nuclear weapons, was successfully attacked 19 times. And as the nation's power grid becomes more reliant on digital technology, attacks against the country's power infrastructure will likely increase.
