The alarming increase in computer attacks has prompted the FBI to create a cyber crimes task force in Louisville, WDRB.com reports.
To combat the sophistication, the FBI is recruiting computer-savvy people.
“There’s a changing in the F.B.I. for sure,” said Michael Russo Jr., a Supervisory Special Agent with the F.B.I.
Russo said cyber attacks are a big threat and can result in people having their identities stolen within seconds.
“We are hiring special agents, computer scientists and I.T. forensic examiners,” Russo said.
It’s not easy. The FBI received more than 20,000 applications for traditional investigator positions but far fewer people expressed interest in FBI tech jobs.
