There you can hear it. That militant group linked to al qaeda carried out the brazen day side attack on a Shopping Mall in nairobi last september killing 60 people. It comes just a day after fighte fighters laid seige to a prison where dozens of their comrades were being held. Elise lab bot joins us from washington. Why attack them now . The administration is kind of sensitive to the idea that there are a lot of Global Threats going on and they attacked somalia, not going after isis for instance in iraq in a greater way. Officials telling me they can walk and chew gum at the same time. Alshabab poses a great risk to the region. They saw a target of opportunity. They had that target of opportunity that doesnt present itself very often and they went for it, carol. So how much of a player is alshabaab across the region . Increasingly, this leader of the alshabaab has been pushing the group to go outside of somalia. They have launched attacks in uganda. They have threatened to extend their attacks across the region. Right now, the Somali Military and African Union are launched in a very big offensive to flush the groop out of the region and this is one of the concerns. All right. Thanks so much. As you know, president obama is not just facing critics on capitol hill. Hes also taking heat from every day americans. A u. S. Today poll shows widespread dissatisfaction with the president s handling of crises in ukraine and the middle east. More than half of americans feel the president is not tough enough on National Security and foreign policy. Much of the country is divided over americas exact role in the world. The same poll, 39 feel the world does too much. 31 say the United States does too little. The president leaves for europe to shore up alliances and meet with fellow members of the nato military coalition. Tell us more. The last nato summit was 2012 in chicago. Does anybody remember that one . Maybe not. Just look at all the attention now on this upcoming summit, as the west tries to deal with threats from russia and isis. How is president obama ending up in the sleepy baltic capital of estonia this afternoon . Just take a look at its neighbor. Suddenly this added on meeting of members of estonia, latvia and lithuania. To reaffirm our ironclad commitment to collective defense. As we kem more rate the start of world war ii, nato matters. Ukraine is looking to join. Natos secretarygeneral is looking at creating a Rapid Response military force. Something the white house supports. This summit now will also look at what to do next about russia. As europe draws up new sanctions. Yet another crisis looms to be discussed by the west and that is isis. With thousands of foreign fighters with western passports currently fighting in syria, britains Prime Minister now with europe has vowed to act. A Firm Security response with military action to go after terrorists, International Cooperation on intelligence or uncompromising action against terrorists at home. President obama at home, while air strikes on isis in iraq continue, had a bit of a rough long weekend in the press following those words on syria. We dont have a strategy yet. With some head turning reaction from both parties. The russian bear is encountering the obama kitty cat. Hes very cautious. Maybe in this instance, too cautious. The president has made clear he is loathe to use military force unless it is well thought out and work. Has repeatedly emphasized the need for a Strong International coalition with russia and isis. Now the nato summit has plenty on the table. We all know a big meeting doesnt generate Big Decisions and big news. Were more likely to see something more on sanctions on russia here. The goal is to look at the effectiveness of the International Response so far to both russia and isis and to see if anything more can be done on either count. All right. Just moments ago, the he is tone he is tone the United States is vastly outspending its fellow nato members. In 2013, the United States spent 735 billion on defense. The other 27 nations combined spent about 288 billion. President obama addressed the disparity in remarks last week. It is not in the cards for us to see a military confrontation between russia and the United States in this region. Keep in mind, however, that im about to go to a nato conference. Ukraine is a member of nato, but a number of those states that are close by are, and so part of the reason i think this nato meeting is going to be so important is to refocus attention on the critical function that nato plays, to make sure that every country is contributing. In other words, fellow countries, pony up some money. I want to bring in phil black. Hes in moscow. The e. U. Is vowing to step up sanctions but the russian president seems undeterred. Ukraine official talks about a great war with russia. What happens next . It does seem very likely the European Union will blemt implement a new round of sanctions. Well see how strong they are and what russias response will be. They came back pretty hard and banned all imports from all western countries products. If nato proceeds with this planned Rapid Response force as well as really ramping up its activity in this region, more exercises, perhaps predeployed sources and forces as well, you can about the time that russia wont like that also. The russian government says it will respond and adjust its military posture accordingly. We dont know what that means just yet but it all points to greater tensions because remember one of the key justifications russia refers to repeatedly for its recent actions and policies in this region is the belief that over a long period of time now nato has been expanding east without adequately thinking about russias feelings or taking into account russias own security concerns. All right. Weve also just learned moments ago that halliburton has agreed to pay 1. 1 billion for the Gulf Oil Spill more than four years ago. That money will settle most of plaintiffs class claims. The company designed and built the well that led to the Largest Oil Spill in u. S. History and killed 11 workers.

The fbi and apple are working hard to figure out just who stole and posted the nude photos of several hollywood a listers. They were posted on a site called four chan. The New York Times calls its the ninth circle of hell the posters are anonymous. Cnn justice correspondent pamela brown live in washington with more on the fbi investigation. Good morning, pamela. Good morning to you. We are learning this morning that fbi agents in los angeles are engaging with some of the victims as part of the investigation that has opened up in the circulation of nude photos of celebrities. They are going to be working with companies where any of these photos were stored, including apple. There have been allegations that the i cloud may have been breached. Thats certainly a possibility. Investigators are certainly going to be looking at and they are going to be looking at other servers where the files were stored. It appears the Photos Leaked were holder older, some were recent. Carol, investigators will be honing in on the leaked pictures, looking for any digital data that may be contained in them, that could provide clues where they were collected from or stores. How likely is it they will find this hacker . Well, i mean, these things happen relatively quickly. In talking to cyber experts who have been involved with similar investigations, carol, it can be a relatively quick process, and you know there have been similar celebrity hacking investigations in the past. A few years ago, for example, a florida man was actually found guilty of wire tapping an thornsed access to a computer after he gained access to the emails of several celebrities through figuring out their passwords. There are so many different methods that you can steal someones proprietary information. In that case, that man was sentenced to ten years in jail. There can be stiff penl for these hackers. Now that these photos have been hacked, what can be done Going Forward . And is your ka at that data stored in the cloud actually safe . So, first of all, i know its tough, isnt it, because nothing seems to be safe on the internet. Right. And this is the equivalent of someone breaking into your house and stealing your very private things, and then posting it publicly, almost standing in front of your householding it up saying look what i got out of there. These are very private moments between people. Granted they took pictures of it. People have been taking pictures of their private moments since the dawn of the photographs. I dont think we can fault them for doing that. I think its unfortunate where they ended up. Its unbelievable, because theres this whole dark web that we often dont talk about. Where these imagines are images are traded, listen to what he said about it. A lot of times these things might be privately traded. Think of them as baseball cards. They are traded in these groups and we may never even hear about it. The idea that these celebrity nudes, that celebrity might even know that there are nude images of themselves on the internet who are these people . It makes me vomit. I mean, seriously. It does. Who are these people . What do they get out of this . It totally depends. Theres a whole community of hackers. A lot of times they will do this for money. They could be offering to sell and trade this for bit coin. A lot of times they want bragging rights on these online forums, they are saying hey i got this image, i got this image, to prove a point. How do you protect yourself . For one, you should change your passwords frequently and often. Use two step authentication so that no one can simply guess your password and be very mindful of these phishing scams, where people send out official emails, even ive seen them and thought that looks too good to real, maybe ill click, but im not going to click. If apple or your bank or email service provider, if they really need to get in touch with you to change something, they are not going to send you an email. They are qog to reach out to you in an appropriate matter. How do you protect your information in the cloud . I will say to you. The number one what he says to celebrities, dont upload your images to the cloud, because there are many ways that the cloud could be hacked. We cant say it was hacked, but there could have been a vulnerability that allowed a hacker to exploit someone. If you delete your photos, oftentimes it takes four to six weeks for those photos to go away from the cloud. Maybe you shouldnt up load to the cloud. Make sure you have those strong passwords. Instead of maybe a password, what you can do is have a pass phrase which is essentially a long sentence you would use as your password to remember it. Im going to ask you the toughest question of all. 4 chan, when you have a site that encourages criminal behavior, what should be done . This is a difficult ethical, legal question, where its do you go to them and say, all right, you got to stop trading in this sort of under belly black market stuff or are you tramping on peoples freedom of speech rights . I think its a very difficult question, but i think the one good thing that has come out of this, it was such a large target that were all paying attention to it and maybe some legislation or some changes that will be made that will help in the long run. People targeted have great amounts of money which means they can pay people to go after these hackers, right . Sure. The every day we keep hearing more and more about hacking, right . These people can go after them, but also these are celebrities and their whole life is to a degree their image and their fame and this could have long lasting effects, so we need to be more aware of how to protect our information especially because we are increasingly connected. We have instagram, facebook, twitter, we have all these information that our all these ways that our information could be leaked. Lets talk about strong passwords. Whats a strong password . Its not 12345, right . Thats the absolutely worse. Password, 1, 2, 3. Anything anybody can guess, i like to mix up different words . Use a password generator or program that creates a complicated password, inserts it for you and maybe you dont ever have to see it. How often should you change your password . Never have the same password. When i say pass phrase, my pass phrase i like bret larson. No one would guess that. Especially since you dont really like him. Especially since i dont really like bret larson. Thats really important. What these guys are using, they could have potentially be using a program that automatically generates these passwords. Im going to change mine after the show. Thank you so much. Still to come in the newsroom, behind the scenes of interviews with those three detained americans in north korea.

Officials say they are doing all they can to secure the release of three americans detained in north korea. Im not going to rule out options here, but i think its important for people to understand that there have been a range of steps that weve taken. Weve had an offer on the table to send ambassador king to negotiate and discuss the release of these individuals. That trip has been cancel in the past. Were going to do everything we can, but i think its also important for people to understand were not going to outline all of that publicly because our objective is to bring them home. Kenneth bae, Matthew Miller and Jeffrey Fowle gave separate interviews to cnn yesterday. Each man urging United States to send an enjoy. Envoy. That became quite a surprise to cnn reporter will ripley. They were taken to a secret location to conduct these interviews. Will has left north korea. He joins us now from beijing, china, where he can speak a little more freely. Tell us how this all went down. It all came together very quickly, carol. We had made the request a couple of times. One on the first day we arrived in north korea and several days later that we really wanted to speak with detained americans. We were told in both cases, that was impossible. We also asked to speak to a high level official. As we were on this one shoot, we were pulled aside and told that a Government Official in pyongyang was going to speak with us but we needed to leave right now. I pulled out my cell phone camera and started rolling and heres what i saw. An abrupt detour during a trip to cover pro wrestlers in north korea. One minute were on a sightseeing tour and next were told to expect an interview with a Government Official. When we pull up to this building, we learn who is really inside. Kenneth bae is serving 15 years of hard labor. Pyongyang is giving us strictly controlled access to bae and two other detained americans. North korea is calling it a favor. We get the impression this regime is looking for a line of communication with the u. S. Im the only prisoner in the camp. He is housed separately from 200,000 north korean prisoners. They endure horrific conditions at six prison camps. He says his health is failing, but his conditions are humane. As he serves his sentence, Jeffrey Fowle learns his. Im getting desperate. Hes already confessed to leaving a bible in north korea. Its a violation of the tourist purpose as well. That covert act of leaving a bible could cost fowle years of freedom. Experts say religion threatens the north korean regime. Only the leaders are considered divine. Each man is held in a separate room down the same hallway. They never have contact with each other. This man, Matthew Miller, awaiting trial for tearing up his tourist visa and seeking asylum. During my investigation, i discussed my motive and for the interview it is not necessary. Now all he wants is help from the u.
