Now when companies get hacked it can cost them dearly not only if sensitive data gets stolen but also because huge amounts of share value can be wiped out estimates say that the global cost of cyber crime related incidents currently amounts to some five trillion euros a year access to sensitive corporate information can occur through spongy fire walls or outdated operating systems however more often than not its employees and theyre easy to remember twelve thirty four fifty six password that pro...

Into the payment firms computer system and made off with up to one hundred thirty million credit card numbers. but distinguishing the color of a hackers hat isnt always easy when it comes to hacking whats right and whats legal is not always clear cut. sometimes illegal behavior can end up revealing other illegal behavior. a good example of this is the panama paper scandal in it gray hat hackers accessed millions of documents illegally then they used them to expose tax evasion and fraud by well k...

The f.a.a. is work and. this cozy relationship is being low by by well a series of lawyers and others way above my pay grade but the point is that has to be seen to be totally independent and the fact that they didnt come out immediately and ground the aircraft has really cool is a great problem well wanted and i think its going to be a long while before you actually see this aircraft back in the sky again and as for the computer system itself they say theyve got software updates for it but real...

Is it just a software problem that can be fixed with a software patch and you know a little changes here in there. well this is a difficult because regionally the original aircraft was very good but what they tried to do the max eight was to put. on it so fuel consumption would reduce by about thirty percent so this may be a very profitable aircraft because you know if youre carrying a large load factor and your fuel costs are down thirty percent obviously a small profit in it but the problem is...

Especially for playing pacman. >> a small snag in computer marketing has been what is called technophobia. fear of these bloodless little wizards. the manufacturers are trying to overcome it by making them what they call user-friendly. >> isnt that pretty. now what do i do? ♪ >> making computers easy enough to use for a beginner, it wasnt always true. people have never encountered this stuff. >> hold down shift and press -- >> so there is a great disconnect between the ambitions of the apples ...

Training or initial training we get. >> u.s. based pilots tell cnn as bad as that sounds to the layperson, the limited training should have been enough for experiences 737 pilots to make the transition. that was until the lion air crash and the aviation world learned boeing had installed a new computer system on board. reportedly failed to anyone about it. >> in the wake of the lion air crash, we felt strongly that there had been a certain amount of breach of trust between the manufacturer and t...

Investigations as well as the investigations on capitol hill that will lead to wherever it needs to lead. and we fully support those investigations. >> investigators believe a single sensor on the lion airplane that crashed in signature bondsia fed bat data to the onboard computer system suggesting it could stall. the computer forced the nose down as pilots fought to pull it up. investigators in ethiopia say that plane crash shows similar characteristics. but even after two fatal crashes in five...

Suction that pushes the nose up or down. the primary focus of the lion air crash and ethiopian air crash is how pilots that are supposed to control a plane from a computer system that they knew nothing about. >> shepard: thanks, trace. 25 years after a blow to the knee stunned the world and made two women household names, another attack on an ice skater by a competitor. first, theres word that joe biden may announce that hes running and in doing so, may announce that as he enters the race, hes p...

Perspective. theres a lot of argument to say its a different airplane, and you cant assume that because some pilot has been flying 737s, which are the most popular commercial airliners in the world that they should know how to handle things that go wrong on a 737 max 8 or 9. >> i would tell you that almost every 737 max pilot i have talked to, in fact, everyone, says it feels the same. they dont see a difference. it feels more high-tech, but they dont feel the difference with traditional models ...

Want to. now, here are the two features "the new york times" is talking about, and i can tell you that this is accurate, in fact. the first one is called an angle of attack indicator, aoa indicator, and it literally is telling you what is the pitch of the aircraft, what is the nose doing, is it up or is it down. does it look like it is in a proper flying configuration but there are two sensors on the plane, two aoa sensors, angle of attack sensors, one on each side of the plane. what happened is...
