WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Justice has named an experienced former federal prosecutor to oversee its counterespionage efforts, part of a broad restructuring of the national security prosecution team to deal with cyber attacks and the threat of sensitive technology ending up in the wrong hands.
David Laufman will become chief of the counterespionage section of the Justice Department's national security division, according to an internal announcement viewed by Reuters. He starts his new job on Monday.
