Correction: Obama-Cybersecurity story

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a Feb. 18 story about a new commission on cybersecurity, The Associated Press erroneously reported that a breach of sensitive personal information of U.S. federal employees and others in 2015 included classified documents.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Wednesday appointed his former national security adviser, Tom Donilon, to lead a new commission on cybersecurity that will make detailed recommendations on how the nation should better protect itself against computer attacks.

Among the most serious breaches in the past year occurred when hackers gained access to the personal information of more than 22 million U.S. federal employees, retirees, contractors and others.

Obama said the commission will examine several challenges, including how to keep huge government databases secure, how to provide timely information to the public about best practices to keep their information safe, and how the government can improve its procurement process and attract the best computer personnel.
