A new report by the Government Accountability Office paints a disturbing picture of cybersecurity in the federal government.
The report shows a 1,300 percent increase in the number of reported cyberattacks on federal agencies between 2006 and 2015, from roughly 5,500 to more than 77,000.
The investigation also found that 19 of 24 major federal agencies reported their systems for protecting sensitive information were either a "material weakness or a significant deficiency."
