Rise seen in cyberattacks targeting U.S. infrastructure. The top American military official responsible for defending the United States against cyberattacks said Thursday that there had been a 17-fold increase in computer attacks on American infrastructure between 2009 and 2011, initiated by criminal gangs, hackers and other nations. The assessment by Gen. Keith B. Alexander, who heads the National Security Agency and also the newly created United States Cyber Command, appears to be the government’s first official acknowledgment of the pace at which America’s electricity grids, water supplies, computer and cellphone networks and other infrastructure are coming under attack. Those attacks are considered potentially far more serious than computer espionage or financial crimes, the NYT reports.

Google move buoys Chicago tech hub. Google is shifting 3,000 jobs from its newly acquired Motorola Mobility unit to downtown Chicago in a move Mayor Rahm Emanuel hopes will anchor a burgeoning tech sector in the nation’s third largest city, the WSJ’s Douglas Belkin reports. The jobs were based in Libertyville, a suburb an hour outside of Chicago, but will be relocated next summer following Google’s purchase of the company for $12.5 billion in May. Emanuel said he hoped Google’s presence would attract start-up technology companies and stem the Midwestern brain drain. Google will take over 600,000 square feet on the top four floors of the Merchandise Mart. A few floors below is a recently opened 50,000 square foot innovation center for digital technology partially funded by the state of Illinois.
Twitter goes down, again. For the second time in a month Twitter suffered a brief outage yesterday morning that prevented some users from accessing the services. In a blog post Twitter’s vice president of engineering cited an “infrastructural double-whammy” where both Twitter’s data center and a backup system failed. The outage came as Twitter ramps up efforts for the Olympics in London, where the company is partnering with broadcaster NBCUniversal, the WSJ’s Shira Ovide reports. CIO Journal’s Joel Schectman previously reported that NBC and infrastructure partner Google have been staging war games to ensure online streaming webcasts hold up under the strain of overloads and other disruptions.
