Foreign cyber attacks hit defense companies

Defense contractors say they are victims of ongoing foreign cyber attacks, and if they don’t die down soon they may need help from the government, Reuters reports.

Several defense contractors say the attacks look like they are from foreign governments.

The contractors don’t say what governments they think are behind the attacks.

Wes Bush, the CEO of Northrop Grumman, says every defense company is always a target, and if someone says they are not, that means they don’t know.
