A new branch under the US Department of Justice will be housed in Denver and take on hacking, terrorism-related matters and other high-profile cases.

The newly created Cyber-crime and National Security Section was announced Thursday by Acting US Attorney Bob Troyer. Troyer said, 
Cybercrime and national security crimes are increasingly urgent threats in the District of Colorado.

The new section will be staffed with six assistant United States attorneys who are experts in investigating and prosecuting cyber-enabled crimes and national security cases and housed under the umbrella of The Colorado US Attorney’s Office’s Criminal Division.

“The attorneys were previously assigned to various sections, including the Special Prosecutions section.  These experts have now come together under one of our four criminal sections to focus on these important Department of Justice priorities,” said, Jeff Dorschner spokesman for The Colorado US Attorney’s Office.
