FOX’s Gurnal Scott with more:
FBI director James Comey says when it comes to cyber security, the biggest threats are first and foremost:
(Comey) “Nation states, think: China, Russia, Iran, North Korea.”
But there are internal threats as well. People who might be motivated:
(Comey) “To penetrate a network that is well defended from the outside by penetrating it from the inside.”
Speaking at a conference in Boston, Comey said the internet has put “bad actors” within a keystroke of good people and the FBI is fighting to stop that.
Comey even quipped about job security at the event, saying he plans to finish his 10-year term, even after disputing President Trump’s allegation that he was wiretapped during the campaign.
