Hospitals and food production companies have been the most recent victims of cyberattacks.

They went after our gas and they went after our hot dogs. No one is out of bounds here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Krebs went on to urge corporate leaders to assemble their cybersecurity teams as soon as possible to lay out a plan of defense.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/los-angeles-mayor-eric-gargetti-signs-11b-fiscal-year-budget\/\">Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti Signs $11B Fiscal Year Budget<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christopher Krebs, former director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, on Capitol Hill in Washington,DC.
