His name on the posters. But the u. S. Military gets a whole lot of screen tim in godzilla. How cozy is hollywood with the military . Good afternoon. Welcome to the lead. Well start with the world lead. China has long been suspected of hacking targets here in the u. S. The American Government has never held anyone accountable for it until today. The Justice Department calling this 21st century burglary. Economic espionage charges against a shadowy unit of businesses. U. S. Steel, westinghouse, alcoa, some of the Biggest Companies in the u. S. In announcing the charge, the attorney general seemed to be pointing the finger at the five suspects and the government and military of china as well. We must say enough is enough. This administration will not tolerate actions by any nation that seek to sabotage american companies. Attorney general holder says he expects the chi naez to cooperate in bringing these five to justice. Thats what he said. If he wasnt being naive, perhaps he was being facetious. The Chinese Government doesnt appear to be ready to cooperate. Lets bring in pamela brown. How is the Chinese Government reacting to the accusations . Theyre firing back at the u. S. , jake. Just to put in in context, a war of words between the u. S. And china on this issue for awhile. Now, the u. S. Is putting the gauntlet down with the indictment. The Chinese Government is lashing out with the Foreign Ministry spokesman calling the accusations absurd and fictitious. He said china is the real victim of being spied on. Theres a lot of fingerpoint g ing going on. The u. S. Says five military officials from the Peoples Liberation army were spying on six u. S. Companies. Draining the u. S. Economy of billions of dollars and putting people out of jobs. Eric holder is calling on china to cooperate. Its our hope that the Chinese Government will respect our criminal jus sis system and let the case proceed as it should, let justice take its course. We expect, hope that the Chinese Government will work with us in connection with this and bring the indicted men to justice. We continue to be vigilant. Speaking with a lot of people, jake, on the idea that these men will be brought to jus s tis here in the u. S. It seems like what u. S. Officials are doing here is sending a message that theyre not going to stand for it. Its a shot across the bow, if you will. How long have they been working on these charges . The u. S. Has long suspected that the Chinese Government has been behind this. Theyve been stock piling evidence against the hackers for awhile now. Its a pain staking process to work on this kind of thing. To find out who is behind the keyboard. You have to figure out who the hacker is, where its ornlg originating from. Polic policy, politics. This was calculated by the u. S. Officials to bring the charges. Pamela brown, thank you so much. The five suspects are officers in a top secret unit of the chinese army. The country has openly recruited experts for the group for over a decade. Last year, a claim was made that numerous Cyber Attacks were traced to the neighborhood where they operate. Were joined by chief National Security correspondent jim sciutto. Shawn, let ne start with you. Theyre officers in unit 61398. Who are they . What is this unit . Theyre a group of hackers working for the Chinese Government. Theyre trying to make Chinese Companies much more competitive and give them an advantage. What kind of information do they want . Research and development. Corporate strategies. When u. S. Companies are involved in partnerships, the chinese are interested in gaining information. What type of negotiation strategies the Company Might perform in the negotiations. Its about getting a leg up, putting themselves in a much stronger competitive position. How are they doing this . Breaking through the security . You throw the pla at it, the Peoples Liberation army at it, years and years of research. Youre going to break through security. This is not bad behavior by a wing of the Peoples Liberation army. Its national policy. China look at this as acceptable. As righting a competitive imbalance with the u. S. And u. S. Companies. The u. S. Has known about it. The chiz knee know about it. U. S. Companies know about it. Only recently the u. S. Has gone public with naming and shaming the people responsible. And saying its costing americans jobs. What about what the chinese responded with today . Certain u. S. Agencies have been consistently tapping into chinese businesses and universities for their purposes. We urge the u. S. To make clear explanations and stop such acts immediately. Some of the reasons for nsa surveillance are economic in nature. Is the u. S. Being hypocritical . The u. S. Is not stealing intellectual propertiepropertie. We all know governments have been involved in espionage for years. As it connects to corporate advantage, the u. S. Doesnt do that. Other nations, not so much. Edward snowden said something about this on tv. Lets play the clip. Oh, okay. Im supposed to read it. If there is information at siemans that is beneficial to u. S. National interests, then theyll take that information nevertheless. Isnt snowden alleging, and i understand the people in the u. S. Government say hes not credible. Isnt he alleged trade secrets . He is. U. S. Officials have been consistent on it. They dont do this for economic gain. Theres another fact. The nsa surveillance and snowdens revelations have a broader effect. President obama was going hit the president hard. This was the time. They said, we have had enough of it. Were going hit the chinese hard on this point. Lo and behold, Edward Snowden releases the documents that very day. Even if you can separate the two, one is for National Security, one is for economic interests, one bleeds into the other one. You have to say it undermines u. S. Credibility. Shawn, how much is the u. S. Government responsible for the Cyber Security of these companies and how much is the Companies Security . The United States is not in position to protect the networks. Theyre not monitoring internet transmissions. In a physical world, if there was a foreign army massed on the borders, the army would respond. They would respond with fighter jets if they buzz our air space. Nobody is blocking the ones and the zezeros. At the end of the day, the daytoday security of the network is the companys responsibility. The companies are responsible and have the obligation. Thats one other thing in terms of the response. The u. S. Government had been sharing more information about specific ways that china is hacking into the systems and where its coming from to help them defend themselves. Thats the most they could do. Its up to the companies. Thank you both. We appreciate it. More alleged hackers targeted in the national lead. This is less about what they want to steal from u. S. Businesses and more about what they want to steal from you personally. In a story first reported on cnn, the fbi and police in 17 countries carried out a worldwide raid today arresting more than 100 people in connection with a socalled creepware. Miss teen usa cassidy wolf is the best known victim. Her former classmate was sentenced into 18 months in prison after he used black shades to take photos of her and attempt to blackmail her. Our justice reporter evan perez has been following this. How did this go down . The fbi was working with police in france, netherlands, germany, canada. They were trying to do searches and rounding up of some of these suspects. These with people that bought the software called black shades. They were marketing it. They were using it to hijack peoples computers. Theres a couple of cocreators of the software, charged too. We were in the room in the fbi command Center Last Week as they were watching these people, notice, as there were kno knock the door. The hacker forums lit up as people complained about the fbi or police being at their door. It was a fascinating look as the fbi was trying get the upper hand on some people. Obviously, who have being targeting people all over the world for years. Thank you, evan. Its a sacred memorial to the thousands who died. Yet some are using the opening of the september 11th Memorial Museum as an attempt to spread mare lies about the attacks. Outrage from democrats have not slowed down karl rove, as he take aim at Hillary Clintons health again. Some saying his line of attack is a smart move. Stay with us. D energy.

According to Village Voice newspaper, the Conspiracy Group ar tickets and engineers for truth plan to stand outside to hand out fake museum brochures. The left side, the real deal. On the right, the groups handiwork. Welcome to the other story about 9 11. Thats of course, the false one. They say they have compiled a vast amount of every day, using the term loosely, proving, their word, not our, that all three World Trade Center sky scrapers were deliberately destroyed by explosives. They dont prove anything. Except mans insensitivity of the f to the people who lost loved ones that day. Lets bring in emily, a Senior Editor of slade for more. Emily, were more than a decade after the tragedy of 9 11, why do these truthers have such staying power . Its such a good question. The persistence of the theory. You imagine people are trying to make sense of the senseless. But with 9 11, we have a real conspiracy, called al qaeda. One has to imagine that the antigovernment motivation of the 9 11 truthers is what is driving this. If you could imagine that the government made up 9 11 as a hoax, then the government is completely monstrous. No reason to believe anything any federal official says and no reason to pay your taxes. What happens hwhen this kind of nonsense hits the internet . It tends to multiply online. You see these dark corners of the internet where people pile on. There is this very minute parsing of the tech kalts of the evidence. More and more detail gets added and accumulated. It feeds on itself. The idea here is not just that the three buildings were destroyed by explosives. But its all part of this grand conspiracy where the u. S. Government, let me state if i havent made it clear enough, none of this is true. This is crazy talk. But the u. S. Government faked it, killed all these people intentionally just to start a war in iraq and one in afghanistan. Is that what theyre going for . That is the idea. I suppose that given the American Government did put forward some false ideas to motivate going into iraq, particularly the weapons of mass destruction. Thats the tiny, tiny certakern truth. Theres antisemitis m, anticorporations. Antiisrael. Exactly. You see these strains related to each other and they get weirdly braided together. Historically, we see these come after upsetting events. The kennedy assassination, the assassination of martin loouthe king jr. Is there a pattern . Each time something scary and disastrous happens, people look for a meaning. We havethat in 9 11 that we didnt have at first for the kennedy assassination. You have the search for supposed other evidence out there. People pick it up and run with it, even when it seems completely unwarranted. Thank you, emily. With slate. Com. Thank you. When we come back, another case of the deadly mers virus detected in the u. S. After a xashl business meeting between two men. How many more people are at risk . A Supreme Court battle over a 34yearold film. Why one woman says she deserves some of the profits from raging bull. Thats coming up. I dont just make things for a living i take pride in them. So when my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis was also on display, id had it. I finally had a serious talk with my dermatologist. This time, he prescribed humiraadalimumab. Humira helps to clear the surface of my skin by actually working inside my body. In clinical trials, most adults with moderate to Severe Plaque Psoriasis saw 75 skin clearance. And the majority of people were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer have happened. Blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening Heart Failure have occurred. Before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. Ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. Tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. You should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. Make the most of every moment. Ask your dermatologist about humira, today. Clearer skin is possible. Welcome back to the lead. In national news, the cdc hoped it could contain the spread of a mysterious deadly virus in the u. S. To the two cases it confirmed in indiana and florida. The cdc has now confirmed a third case of middle east respiratory syndrome, or mers. This time, the patient didnt bring it back from saudi arabia. The cdc believes he was infected by the original indiana patient. That would be the first case of person to person transmission within the United States. Lets bring in elizabeth cohen. What does it tell us that this virus was spread through casual contact . I think its worth going into detail. The indiana man was feeling sick, had a fever. Didnt know he had mers. He had this business meeting with this man in illinois. It was a meeting that lasted 40 minutes. They shook hands. The next day they had an even shorter meeting. The thought that you can get mers through a business meeting in shaking hands. No hugging. No kissing. It makes you wonder about what Health Experts have been telling us, which is mers is hard to get, mostly spread within People Living in the same house hold. This is not in the same household. This is during a business meeting. It is giving people concern. We had been told that the contact needs to be close. A Health Care Worker or a partner, not a business parter. A partner in your home. Lets go to this man in illinois. He hardly felt sick at all. Could he still have spread mers . Experts tell me he could have. At some point in time, the virus was in his nose and mouth. At that point, he could have spread it. When someone has a respiratory virus, any virus, they can spread it. Theyre not going to be good at spreading it. They probably dont have a lot of the virus in their respiratory system. Someone who is really sick spreads it more efficiently. But could this man have spread it . Yes. Hundreds of people have been on the airplanes with the indiana patient, the florida patient. Some with them for many hours. Do we know if any of the individuals on the planes have contracted mers . You know, the cdc is still running tests to see if anyone was infected with mers. As far as we know, no one was very, very sick on the flights. That is good news. Were talking a lot of flights. One from london to ch
