| President Obama today moved to create a new program of sanctions against other nations and people outside the U.S. who cyberattack U.S. citizens, companies, or government entities, expanding federal protections in response to threats from hackers worldwide. The new powers would allow the Treasury Department to penalize by freezing assets or blocking access to the banking system—any person or institution that engages in large-scale cyberattacks that “significantly” harm or compromise “critical infrastructure” such as nuclear plants, water treatment facilities, or the financial system. | |||||||
