American pharaoh could become a racing god if he brakes the triple crown curse tomorrow. Course the last time that happened i was 9 years old. Good afternoon, everyone to the lead. Im jake tapper. Its very clear the United States is fully engaged in cyber war and the reality just hit home with news according to the u. S. Government chinese Digital Soldiers launched an online assault hacking in to an american database and stealing the personal information of some 4 million current and former federal employees working for nearly every Government Agency. The hack brought up names, addresses, Social Security numbers, job details including things such as assignments and training. Employees are freaking out but beyond the fear of ruined Credit Ratings and cyber theft monetarily Law Enforcement officials seem primarily concerned that this hack is more about espionage. Hard to remember because so much of what they do is in the shadows. But the u. S. Infrastructure is built on people people who have secrets whether medical, professional or personal people who can be blackmailed and bribed. Now the chinese or whoever has all this data. Is that much closer to stealing this countrys secrets. Ill get to jim sciutto. China firmly denying involvement in the cyber attack but it sounds the pentagon is not buying it. They are not. Its believed to be sourced by the government of china. 4 million federal employees compromised including personal information and security clearances and the latest in a series of hacks appeared to be aimed at building a huge database of data on americans. It only took one Government Agency that had not taken the simple step of updating its Server Software to open the door to an unprecedented and alarming cyber attack believed to be by the government of china. The white house has not publicly named the culprit its acknowledging the growing threat. We have seen our adversaries using innovative technique and to learn from their previous efforts to find vulnerabilityies in our system. Reporter this laz the ground work for future attacks using the stolen information to fool Government Employees in spear fishing attacks and to impersonate them to carry out insider attacks. And crucially by revealing who has security clearances and at what level they can now identify expose and blackmail u. S. Officials around the world. Targeting the personal information of federal employees is new. Chinese hackers had previously focused on stealing military and government secrets to enhance national security. And corporate data for financial gain. I didnt think that stopped. But this is just a new attack which is typically been used by organized crime for monetizing that data and now nation states are clearly seeing it has some use for them as well. Reporter security analysts say some agencies are not following the government guidelines to update operating systems with the latest protections. The office of Personnel Management discovered the breach by using new software but the detection came after the system had been compromised. After years of Cyber Attacks by china the Obama Administration has tried raising the issue president to president. It even issued criminal charges against an elite group of chinese hackers believed housed at this shanghai building and known as unit 61398. Lets face it cyber as were all waking up to again this morning is the newest domain of warfare. Traditionally weve looked at sea and land and space and now cyber is the fourth domain of warfare. Reporter now there is a debate about the wisdom of hacking back against china and other countries in retaliation. The privatesector is legally barred of doing so. The government is worried about spark a civil retaliation. The president issued a executive order authorizing sankss on individuals. Like sarngsnctions on russia. Jim sciutto, thank you so much. Lets talk more about this with the former executive assistant director of the fbi and president of the Cyber Security firm crowd strike sean henry and federal prosecutor and our china expert. Thanks to all of you for joining me. Sean let me start with you. Whats the big fear. There are now 4 million Government Employees and former employees who can potentially be black mailed well that certainly is a concern. Its going take a little bit of time through the course of the investigation to do a full Damage Assessment to determine what in fact was stolen what databases were touched, how much data was actually taken. The biggest concern for me is the ubiquity of the attack and lack of urgency of agencies and governments to go back and draw the red line president to president to get this resolved. You have a top secret clearance when you worked for the u. S. Government. Do you worry your information has been stolen . From what were hearing it goes really really far down the rabbit hole. Its Something Like 80 of existing and former federal employees that are affected so possibly both sean and i are in that bucket. Whats more important right now in going along with what sean just said is if the federal government through its Counter Intelligence activities is attacking countries like china it cant do it if its living in a glass house. Right now thats how you should be looking at what were living inside of is a glass house. These Government Systems are not protected well enough. They are not protected by basic security just like updating. Im always saying never hit remind me later to the viewer when they hit that button to not update something. The government ought to ban that word from its entire dictionary. Gordon who is doing this and what is the long term goal . Well i think forensics will take quite some time but if its china we shouldnt be surprised because they have been involved in a very long Term Campaign going back at least two decades, maybe 25 years in attacking u. S. Networks. They had this socalled grains of sand approach where they just sort of ask chinese who returned from the u. S. To tell them all sorts of things that they learned. Now they are able to do that through cyber means and i suspect that once they do all the forensics its going beijing thats the culprit. Whats their long term goal gordon well of course they want to undermine the United States. Their new fighter looks exactly like our f35 maybe even better than our plane. So clearly they want to learn this information. They want to be able to turn former federal officials maybe even current officials, they want to know who is the cias black ops. All of these things are important to china. Sean the former cia director leon panetta warned in 2012 of a cyber pearl harbor he was referring to lives lost electrical grid shut down transportation derailed. How close to achieving that kind of chaos these chinese hackers if they wanted to do such a thing. It goes beyond china. Were talking russia iran and terrorist groups that are currently developing these capabilities to not only Access Networks but to actually destroy networks to disrupt networks. We saw this recently at sony. Emails were stolen that were incriminating or embarrassing but parts of the network were physically destroyed. We have Electronic Communications destroying physical capabilities. This is something we have to be concerned about and what the cascading effects of that kind of attack would be. The dod, the pentagon get hit with 10 million Cyber Attacks each day were told. The nsa ranched up their internet surveillance. Why wasnt the pentagon or whatever cyber apparatus guarding the infrastructure why couldnt they detect this attack until some time in april . Thats the most surprising part here. The intrusion detection system was not even implemented until april which means if you look at it from a pure security perspective they were about ten years behind where they should be on security protections. And in addition to that when youre looking at employees, federal Government Employees the Chinese Government right now is probably making a profile of individuals who are compromisable, individuals who have nothing to worry about and theres no reason to even bother them and stack rank that and then next thing you know youll start get targeted of who can turn who can disclose certain kinds of information and thats why this warfare, this digital warfare is not just war between people in uniform, its now becoming personal. Its becoming personal through civilian employees and thats very dangerous for the american public. Gordon president obama has been working hard on this relationship with president xi jinping of china. They have been talking about letting china coming in to the tpp, the trade agreement. President xi is coming to the United States in sep. He wants to talk to congress. How does this help better relation . We need a reassessment of our relation with china. For four decades we had this idea to integrate the chinese into international system. But we have not taken measures to protect ourselves on cyber and other things. So should xi jinping have the privilege of addressing congress. We should even think about whether this should be a state visit with all the pomp and ceremony on the south lawn. All of these things are important because these issues are now becoming so critical to the United States and its not just here its in the south china sea, north korea, all the rest of it our diplomacy with china is producing the wrong results and we need to rethink and reassess what were doing.

A new video from the terrorists of isis released overnight appears to be narrated by a man with an american accent. Yet another sign that isis terrorists are aiming their Propaganda Machine at westerners in hopes that those westerners may join the fight in syria and iraq or try to carry out their own personal jihad at home as we saw in boston this week and garland, texas last month. Lets go to barbara starr. Barbara, what are your sources saying about this latest video . Reporter isis continues to grow in sophistication online in social media with its approach. If you hear a voice speaking fluent english, isnt that a voice that you might more likely relate to . Do they want to recruit westerners and americans . You bet. That fluent english voice just might be the trick to make somebody tune into them. Now there have been critics who have been calling for the west and specifically the pentagon to do more to shut down isis presence online. I heard the counter argument that the west the government the u. S. Gains Tactical Advantage from allowing isis to remain online. Is that true . Reporter you know, its a trade off. If they are online you can track where they are, perhaps. See what they are up to. But the air force had a little surprise for at least some isis operatives. Apparently in the last several days perhaps, the air force saw an isis posting, some operative posted in front of a command and control facility. They used geo locating techs to find it and a top general told reporters they were able to strike within 22 hours, found the place, launched the bombs and dealt with the isis operatives there. So maybe a message for isis not so good to be online. Talk about muting someone on twitter. Barbara starr thank you so much. The influence or potential influence ever isis is also in our National Lead today. How much did that terror group encourage a man in boston and his associates to carry out an attack to plan attack. The fbi said usaama rahim had plans to kill officer before they reached him on tuesday. A Surveillance Video should show that confrontation. The release is expected after usaama rahims burial which is happening right now. Lets go pamela brown. The fbi arrest ad second person david wright who is a relative of usaama rahim but a third person met with the two of them on a beach. What else can you tell us about him . Reporter thats right. That third person is listed in the criminal complaints. Were learning more about him. At this point there havent been any charges filed against him but the fbi has been outside of his home for several days the fbi searched his home as well and the investigation into what role he may have played in the alleged terror plot is still very active. Law enforcement officials are trying to unravel what happened on a rhode island beach where usaama rahim tried to set into motion a terrorist attack. Law enforcement Officials Say rahim who police shot and killed in boston tuesday, met on the beach with his nephew david wright and an unnamed 24yearold man. That man lives here in rhode island with his parents. Police searched the home wednesday and Law Enforcement source tells coroner nn agents have spoken with him but hes not been arrested. The three allegedly plotted to behead activist Pamela Geller in new york. But then he changed his plan and planned to attack Police Officers in massachusetts on tuesday according to the fbi. The trick of this is frankly, let the person get close enough so that they are taking a substantial step forward that their efforts, their actions are prosecutable. Reporter cnn communicated with the third individual through twitter back in march as part of reporting on americans who foley haddists. He indicated he was in touch with terrorists online including with isis. He claimed that alleged isis fighter was telling him to come to syria to fight with the terrorist group. This as cnn is learning known isis members were communicating through peer to peer communication with at least one of the three men, encouraging a terrorist attack of the u. S. Court records should rahim bought three military knives on amazon that were delivered to him in the last week. Boston Police Commissioner believes he intended to behead officers. When they have the knives and what happened across the country and across the world, the beheading of military and Police Officers thats why they had the knives and based on their comment thats what they believed they were up to. Reporter rahim has been on the fbi radar for several years. He became suspicious the fbi bugged his phone in 2012. On facebook under an ali as he wrote i heard some clicking noises on my phone. An fbi agent called him and said sir, i have some allegations regarding you. I came by your house a few times but kept missing you. We have learned the family of usaama rahim has viewed that Surveillance Video of the shooting that happened on tuesday when the five officers approached rahim and then shot and killed him. Also the family spoke to their attorney yesterday, jake and disputed the allegations that he had anything to do with isis. Jake pamela brown, thank you so much for that report from boston.
