"This disclosure is not just an attack on America's foreign policy interests. It is an attack on the international community," Clinton told reporters after meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
"I want you to know that we are taking aggressive steps to hold responsible those who stole this information," she added.
"I have directed that specific actions be taken at the State Department in addition to new security safeguards at the Department of Defense and elsewhere... so that this kind of breach cannot and does not ever happen again."
She spoke the day after the whistle-blower website began releasing more than 250,000 confidential State Department memos detailing several previously unknown diplomatic episodes and candid statements from world leaders.
