As the takedown of those offenders happened. Reporter once installed on a victims computer, the black shades route allowed computers to secretly gain access to everything on a victims computer, including private photographs and documents and even passwords to online accounts. It could even record every key stroke entered on a victims keyboard to speedily steal credit card and other Sensitive Information. The fbi today announced it had arrest two men who created black shades, one of whom has already pled guilty. Among the victims miss teen u a who said she turned hysterical after getting an email with pictures of herself nude taking surreptitiously with her own web cam. The sender threatened to do it more if he didnt do exactly what he wanted. I was on the phone with my mom and we were both crying. I couldnt explain the emotion that i was going through. It was terrifying. Absolutely terrifying. With me now Security Consultant and ethical hacker ryan bernheimer. Welcome. Thank you very much for having me. Let me be real. I had a guest on a couple years ago and hearing how people can do this to cameras and laptops, i have duct tape over my laptop camera because i am frightened of someone creeping in with this creep ware. Why is it so insidious . Youre right. Its terrifying in its own right but, you know, black shades is something that its a piece of malware thats out there now. It can track your key strokes, turn on your microphone, it can turn on your web cam, which is terrible as well, as you said in the case with miss teen usa. Another aspect of this is that it creates something called ransom ware where which can is not only being used by a its enscript files being held within your computer. Its holding these files encrypted and theyre Holding People these files ransom, not only individuals but companies are being held ransom. Thats apparently happening to this young woman. This bad guy says i have nude pictures of you, if you dont send me more this will go im going to publish this around the world. So she was terrified and went along with it for a while. Before we move along to the significance of these arrests. Do you have advice for people other than using duct tape . How do we stop this from happening . Well, duct tape is one way to go about it, but the other way is just to be aware of whats going on and if you are encountered with one of these, do not pay the ransom because youve got to think these are unethical people that are asking for your money so what are they going to be doing with your credit cards . What are they going to do with this information . The best advice that i give is just contact authorities. The nice thing is the fbi is actively going after these people as we discussed earlier. Thank goodness. So they are actively going after these people and just make sure youre not going out and giving them your credit card or any information like that. Dont do it. What about in terms of Law Enforcement around the world working across boundaries. How are they going to be dealing with this crackdown in terms of everyone sort of working together . Well, thats actually good news is that were seeing right now were seeing something that hasnt been done as much in the past. You have over 400 cases where theyre actually going out and looking for the people that are creating and selling this malware to people that should havent their hands on it. You said earlier that theres i think theres almost 97 people that have been caught distributing this to people that that shouldnt have their hands on it. Its something that we havent seen in the past other than for groups like anonymous that weve had multiple had a team effort to go after. Its creepy. Im glad the fbi is on it and is successful. Ryan burnheimer thank you for your perspective. And you heard from miss teen usa cassidy wolf, she will talk to Anderson Cooper in the wake of the news, watch her at 8 00 p. M. Eastern here on cnn. Now to this, today, washington took the unprecedented step of charging five Chinese Military officers with cyber spying against vital u. S. Industries. You have to Justice Department saying now that five officials work for a supersecret spy cell known as unit 61398 believed to be housed in this 12story building in shanghai and some are saying we are talking about trillions of dollars of theft. Just think about that for a second. Against u. S. Steel and alcoa among others. This is huge. This is a huge story and well have much more on that just a bit later. Cnn. Cnn has just learned a florida patient infected with the mers virus has been released from the hospital. The patient has recovered. Now testing negative for mers, but this comes just days after some frightening developments in the spread of this virus because for the very first time the acronym is middle east respiratory syndrome, mers, has spread from one person to another within the United States. Right here on u. S. Soil. This latest case in illinois, the third confirmed case in the u. S. But the first infection that began here, the other two cases were contracted overseas. Cnn senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen is here with me. So this got my attention, certainly. Its one thing when were talking about folks coming directly from the middle east, its another when its happening here. Whats disturbing about this is not just that it spread which, in many ways, was expected. Its how it spread. Tell us. Lets hear about this. The first two cases in the United States were people who got infected in saudi arabia and then got on a plane and came here. Those cases were reported in indiana and florida. Now Health Officials say an illinois man who had a business meeting with the indiana patient has also tested positive for mers. This potential person that is the may be the third case that it was transmitted had just basically business transactions with this individual. So no unique travel history of their own and no travel history since. Reporter the cdc says during a meeting on april 25 the two men were sitting within six feet of each other talking. The only physical contact they had was shaking hands. The next day they had another meeting, this one shorter. This was a week before the indiana patient was confirmed to have mers. A cdc doctor says the illinois man was never really sick, but now the cdc wants to test people he came in contact with because even without symptoms, its possible he could have spread the deadly mers virus. Now, considering the illinois man never got sick it could be that mers maybe spreads more easily than we had thought. But on the other hand, it also may turn out that its not quite as deadly. Remember last week we were talking about a 30 morality rate . It may be thats high. It may not be that high. But elizabeth, were talking about this i know, and sitting about this distance apart. I thought last week when we talked about these cases that it was difficult to get. That changes the game. It does. Because last week the experts were talking about households, people who lived in the same household or doctors and patients who have very close and prolonged contact. This is two business meetings. That really changes the game in a lot of peoples minds. Now, the cdc doesnt want to go there. They want to keep sort of acquiring more data and more information because remember this is a new virus so theres a lot they dont know about it. We are talking to someone from the cdc and well press them on that. You should. We will. Thank you. Next its a merger between two huge Media Companies that would change how and where you watch your favorite tv shows and even if youre not a customer of at t or directv it could still impact your monthly tv bill. Plus a decision this afternoon could rewrite racing history. Have you heard about this . The horse called California Chrome won the first two legs of the triple crown wearing who knew a nasal strip. But there were questions about whether that would be allowed at the Belmont Stakes and now we know if chrome will be allowed to run with that. Honestly, the offseason isnt ive got a lot to do. Thats why i got my surface. Its great for watching game film and drawing up plays. Its got onenote, so i can stay on top of my todo list, which has been absolutely absurd since the big game. With skype, its just really easy to stay in touch with the kids i work with. Alright, russell you are good to go alright, fellas. Alright, russ. Back to work golive gardensvorites asignature favorites, just 10 including creamy fettuccine alfredo, and our classic lasagna. Plus unlimited soup or salad and warm breadsticks. Signature favorites, just 10 all week long, at olive garden. My golden years will not just be gold plated. I had 3 different 401 k s. E trade offers rollover options and a Retirement Planning calculator. Now i know when im going to retire. Not if. Welcome back. Im brooke baldwin. Between broadcast, cable, internet, hand held wireless, were swimming in content these days. Those who control the flow of what we are getting, its becoming fewer and fewer, thus increasingly powerful. Now at t has agreed to buy directv. That deal disclosed on sunday. So where there were four providers, that number will shrink since, remember, comcast is planning to buy time warner cable. 45 billion for that deal. And at t is offering 49 billion for directv. Staggering sums and huge implications for we, the consumer. With me now from new york, here he is, cnn Technology Analyst brett larson. Hey, brooke. Hello. Yes, merger mania. Merger mania like monopoly is here. You have at t plus directv equals, you know, this Communications Giant and what they call the holy trinity of phone, broadband and video. If the deal goes through, what does that mean for us . Well, it could mean a lot of things for us. Well start, i guess, with the good part so that we can all feel happy about this merger. Give me warm and fuzzies first. Well add the tv on to the at t. What it could do and what i hope to see it do is that bundled service that you talked about that. Holy trinity. You know, the service i have that at home, i get faster broadband because i also have hbo and showtime and other services on my television that brings the whole price down and then gives me faster Broadband Service and at the end of the day i save a lot of money. I also save money on my cell phone. Now, a lot of these bundles arent available in rural areas or when you really get outside of the even the urban areas, a lot of the suburban areas where you are best served by directv youre not getting to benefit from those bundles. So theres where i think well see warm and fuzzy goodness. I also hope the feds pushes this on them. I hope it urges them to bring more wireless high Speed Internet by way of directv and maybe technology mixing cellular to satellite to underserved parts of the country because thats an issue today. Go ahead. I was going to say where its going to be bad is that once were losing competition again. And that means prices could go potentially go up and thats where its kind of a lose lose. When you go from having four options to two options to two options that may or may not be in cohesion with each other, thats where its a problem. Lessens competition, ergo price goes up. What about folks who are not customers . This is where im kind of excited at the technology and where it could take it. Lets face it. More and more people are tuning away from the television for their content as they traditionally have and getting on the internet. Yeah, theyre going on the internet, their phones, their tablets. We have this whole generation of cordcutters. We also have a whole generation of people who never bothered to sign up for traditional Cable Service that brings you television but are instead signing up for what . People arent getting cable . People arent getting cable. Theyre signing up for that Broadband Service because, listen, cnn has apps and a web site, cnnx you can watch our content. You have hulu plus, netflix, all these other avenues of content and the merger for that reason makes sense because at t has to control the pipe at some point and if they have directv in their back pocket, that means they might be able to bring you content by way of your Wireless Phone or device. Its incredible for me to think about like cnn mobile and people are going here first to then come here. Right, exactly. We get them here and bring them here to watch us. Changes. Thank you so much for joining me, we appreciate it. Coming up next, the federal government taking steps to protect businesses here in the u. S. By doing something it has never actually done before.

Questions abound about whether this horse, California Chrome, would be allowed to run at the Belmont Stakes and go for the coveted triple crown. Today we have our answer. Thats next. [ male announcer ] if you suffer from a dry mouth then youll know how uncomfortable it can be. [ crickets chirping ] but did you know that the lack of saliva can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath . [ exhales deeply ] [ male announcer ] well there is biotene. Specially formulated with moisturizers and lubricants, biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy, too. [ applause ] biotene for people who suffer from dry mouth. Biotene smoking with chantix. For 33 years i chose to keep smoking. Because it was easier to smoke than it was to quit. Along with support, Chantix Varenicline is proven to help people quit smoking. Its a nonnicotine pill. Chantix reduced the urge for me to smoke. It actually caught me by surprise. Some people had changes in behavior, thinking or mood, hostility, agitation, depressed mood and suicidal thoughts or actions while taking or after stopping chantix. If you notice any of these, stop chantix and call your doctor right away. Tell your doctor about any history of Mental Health problems, which could get worse while taking chantix. Dont take chantix if youve had a serious allergic or skin reaction to it. If you develop these, stop chantix and see your doctor right away as some could be life threatening. Tell your doctor if you have a history of heart or blood vessel problems, or if you develop new or worse symptoms. Get medical help right away if you have symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Use caution when driving or operating machinery. Common side effects include nausea, trouble sleeping and unusual dreams. I did not know what it was like to be a nonsmoker. But i do now.

Alright, russell you are good to go alright, fellas. Alright, russ. Back to work superstar horse California Chrome needs one more victory to become the cripple run to womener since 1978. It looks like he will get to wear these nasal strips when he makes the run. This is a huge deal because the horse, can you see this . Weve highlighted with a graphic, nice. He wears a strip across his nose when he races just like athletes wear these nasal strips in other sports. So after saturdays preakness victory there were sudden concerns that new york, home to the Belmont Stakes, doesnt allow nasal strips on horses for racing. But today we have the news. New york officials gave these nasal strips the ao. K. And just this morning California Chromes coowner told cnn he has had a special feeling about this particular horse from even before the beginning. I saw him when he was a day old. I saw him in a dream three weeks prior to that, he was exactly like my dream and i told my wife, i said this horse is going to do big things. I dont know what yet, but hes going to do big things. And hes proven us right so far. We believe in our horse. We believe in our trainer. And he is proving to america right now that he is americas horse. I love his love for his horse. So quickly, as we were talking at commercial break. My biggest takeaway other than its awesome this horse gets to wear nasal strips, i had no idea horses where nasal strips, do you . Of course, they have problems when theyre sleeping and theyre next to their loved one and the mama horse is like hey, papa horse, you need to stop. At the Belmont Stakes its a mile and a half long. Its the longest race out of the three legs and when youre running its grueling and these horses need to be able to breathe properly. The strips open up the passages in thes no industrials. Lessens the bobpossibility o bleeding into the lungs. So you havent had this triple crown winner since 1978. This would be potentially a huge deal. It would be ginormous. Ginormous . Do you like that word . California chrome singlehandedly put horse racing back on the forefront of the sporting world. So exciting. Im sitting here, this is probably like my 20th hit today of talking about California Chrome. Im best friends now with California Chrome. We are twitter followers. Well, i follow him. He doesnt follow me back. Kind of hoping for that. When does this race happen . On june 7. So its coming up. A couple weeks to
