- 8 years ago
The U.S. government is still trying to figure out who carried out the massive cyberattack that crippled popular websites around the globe last week.
Speaking on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" Monday night, President Obama said he had "no idea" who carried out a large-scale cyberattack on popular U.S. websites like Twitter and Netflix last week.
"What is true is that we are all connected.
We're all wired now," Obama said.
"One of the biggest challenges for the next president and the president after that and the president after that is going to be how do we continue to get all the benefits of being in cyberspace but protect our finances, protect our privacy."
The FBI said Friday that it was "investigating all potential causes of the attack".
