government is dedicated to meeting the challenges of today and tomorrow. we take the security of government devices seriously. we are constantly working to make sure those devices remain as safe and secure as possible. and so is part of that effort i recently commissioned a review by our cybersecurity experts to assess the risks caused by certain third—party apps on government devices. in particular, the installation and use of tiktok. i know there has been a lot of interest in this and the house i wanted to take the opportunity today to update members. that review has now concluded and it is clear they could be a risk around how sensitive government data is accessed and used by certain platforms. as many colleagues will know, social media apps collect and store huge amounts of user data, including contacts, user content and geolocation data. on government
it's not the same as it is here. in china, it's educational. if you're over 14, you're looking at math and science. here in the united states, it's not that. so there's this very distinct flow of information. >> 60 minutes had a report on this and somebody said when you look down the line at what china's trying to do to their population versus ours in this soft way with technology, he's worried about the future for what we when you look at what american kids want to be, they want to be a social media star. what chinese kids want to be, astronauts. >> it's one of those things where you think to yourself is this, we've been talking to cybersecurity experts all day. one of the things they say to us is when you actually look at the terms of service of these two companies like tiktok or other platforms, they're not that different. the terms of service are not
different options available, but we also should give credit where credit is due, and starlink has been a critical element in this defense of ukraine. >> if i could just add one thing, fareed, just on the specifics of starlink, it turns out that was a public private partnership. it was actually a partnership tween u.s. a. i. d. in getting the terminals delivered in a timely way. within days, not ours, of when putin invaded. so, you know, it would be very hard for a ceo from far away to know where they should go, to have the connections on the ground with ukrainian officials. because u.s. aid and the u. s. government has been working with the ministry of digital transportation, with the cybersecurity experts on the ground. one of the untold stories of this war is how secure ukrainian communications have been, not rushes known proclivity for hacking and
because usaid and the u.s. government has been working with the ministry of digital transformation with the cybersecurity experts on the ground, i mean, one of the untold stories of this war is how secure ukrainian communications have been, notwithstanding russia's known proclivity for hacking and trying to use asymmetric means in order to destabilize countries. that's the product of years of partnership with the ukrainians and so often when you see a private sector actor and one as important as this one we can't discount that but it also stems from some hustle and some catalytic work by u.s. government actors, frankly, in order to get out of the way and bring the private sector together with the ukrainians who know what they need and when they need it. >> samantha power, let me ask you a question that really is fully in your bailiwick and something a lot of americans think about, a lot of republicans have been clamoring about, which is before the war, ukraine was regarded as by, you know, if you looked at various
the this is the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. >> the balloon, people don't know exactly was being captured by the balloon tech. some people think it may have been viewing military installations across the country, it's unclear as of yet. when you talk about the value of personal data, to just be a dummy about it, what is so valuable and why is it the largest transfer of wealth? >> originally thinkers ip theft. this is china trying to catch up. they were sick of -- the shortest way to catch up to steal the ip, hand the ip over their state owned enterprises. and we started seeing these attacks of equal facts, anthem, and marriott actually. i think what they were doing, what cybersecurity experts have set a long time, is they have been building out database of americans personal information, particularly government workers
attacks of equifax, anthem and marriott, actually. i think what they were doing, what cybersecurity experts have said for a long time, is that they have been building out database of americans personal information, particularly government workers who stay at marriott and apply for security clearance to see where chinese citizens are traveling and staying at the same time as potential government american workers to build out a counter intelligence database for potential chinese american spies. that was the thinking originally. now i think it's shifted to how much are they taking here? because they have breached, essentially, data on every american. of course, we can talk about tiktok and what kind of threat that poses to what people are calling now psycho security down the line. but essentially we've seen them take the ip, we've seen him take the personal data, and more than a year ago the, u. s. government declassified a report that a lot of chinese
to write their homework for them. if i was a student right now i think i be delighted to know that you could literally say, write me 500 words about the end of the second world war and you will get them in about a minutes�* time, undera minute. teachers are saying well, we can spot text that's plagiarise for the internet because itjust doesn't sound like the voice of a student. we think we can tell. it's difficult to know because will never know the ones that they don't catch. there are also concerns that people could use it to write university applications for them. that it could completely change the model we use currently to test peoples abilities and achievement. the other concern is that it doesn't tell you where it's got information from. they presented all as fact. so it can very easily spout out misinformation that it has found somewhere on the internet and it wouldn't necessarily warn you that it might not be true. thirdly, there are cybersecurity experts who are warning that it can be manipulated into writing malware, computer viruses, which is also potentially a very serious problem
good game whoever plays. out kick.com is the place to go, thanks, clay. carley shimkus who also likes clay. >> i love clay. i want him to be happy. i want him to get the players he wants on his team. can i continue with the news? okay, let's do it. microsoft cloud is back up and running after a worldwide outage overnight. an apparent hack attack shut out users from programs like microsoft, outlook, and teams. xbox live network was down alsoo appear in services in china and microsoft platform for governments were not affected. right now german cybersecurity experts are investigating potential culprits responsible for the outage. walmart is raising its minimum wage for store employees who stock shelves and cater to customers. base pay will start at $14 an hour. that is the $2 raise from their current average hourly pay and workers will have the opportunity to earn up to $19 an hour. the move comes as retailers across the u.s. struggled to recruit and retain employees.
manager. tell us about what happened here. >> the national cyber director at the white house and who comes from the nsa, not a stranger to hacking or foreign adversaries attempting things on computer, he is managing from the white house the kind of government-wide effort between cybersecurity experts to kind of take a deep dive in this. i mean, what pete buttigieg told us today is there is no evidence of a cyberattack. that's good news, but we have to remind ourselves when you have a highly sophisticated cyberattack, it is meant to conceal evidence. they're going to be going into the computer logs at the faa and they'll be going back to look for anomalous behavior. where did the system start to crack or glitch? where was the domino effect where i started to get worse and then go back further. did something come in from the outside? what other places does the system touch? what thumb drive could
