Obama’s cybersecurity initiative stumbles

President Obama's cybersecurity initiatives have been so delayed, a top interim official has recently resigned.

President Obama has made it a top priority to assemble a White House-based team to fight Internet-based crime and defend the country against cyber attack, but first he has to find a person willing and able to lead the effort.

Siobhan Gorman, intelligence correspondent for the Wall Street Journal, says some of the president’s advisers had apparently turned against Hathaway.
