CAPSTitle 20CAPSTitle14 Subtitle and Upper and Upper and Upper and Upper www.fbi.gov The National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force is composed of nearly two dozen federal intelligence, military, and law enforcement agencies, along with local law enforcement and international and private industry partners. The task force serves as the government’s central hub for coordinating, integrating, and sharing information related to cyber threat investigations. 2014 The FBI Story I A Message from FBI Director James B. Comey It has been a busy and challenging year for the FBI and for our partners at home and around the world. Together, we confronted cyber attacks from sophisticated, state-sponsored actors, transnational criminal groups, and everyday hackers. We arrested white-collar criminals and corrupt public officials. We protected our communities from violent gangs and child predators. And we safeguarded Americans from an array of counterterrorism and counterintelligence threats. This latest edition of The FBI Story, our annual collection of news and feature articles from our public website, FBI.gov, chronicles our most successful 2014 investigations and operations. These include the disruption of botnet operators responsible for the theft of more than $100 million worldwide; nearly $9 billion in penalties levied against one of the largest financial institutions in the world for exploiting the American financial system; and a nationwide child exploitation sweep that recovered 168 victims of trafficking. This edition of The FBI Story also highlights some of our unique capabilities.
