US CyberChief Resigns Immediately

In a surprising move, Amit Yoran, the head of US cyber safety for the past year, quit suddenly on Thursday with no notice. Yoran is credited with creating a virus alert system and mapping the government's electronic communications. Yoran created a security system that was bought by Sematech where he stayed on as a security expert until coming to work for the Bush administration. He had recently expressed his frustration at holding such as important job, but with little authority and not enough funding to protect US cyberspace. Upon resigning he stated, "They just aren't really committed to making our cyberspace safer".
