The scope of the attacks has prompted the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), which manages US technology exports for both commercial and military use, to overhaul its computer systems and security defences. Information housed on the department's systems includes sensitive commercial and economic data on US exporters as well as data involving law enforcement records. "BIS discovered a targeted effort to gain access to BIS user accounts," Commerce Department spokesperson Richard Mills said. "They took a series of immediate action steps to ensure that no BIS data is compromised. We have no evidence that any BIS data has been lost or compromised," Mills said.
