FOXNEWSW The Real Story With Gretchen Carlson January 12, 2015

Information. What are you hearing . Certainly when it first occurred, what i was hearing is this is bad and they were very concerned and it took them a few minutes to get it under control. The cyber hack attack hit the centcom twitter account both the arabic and English Version and the youtube page at just about the same time as you mentioned, the president was making remarks about Cyber Security. The official centcom twitter account had a banner that said i love isis and talked of a cyber caliphate and showed photos that looked as if they had been taken inside u. S. Bases. A Senior Defense official issued the following statement quote we can confirm that the u. S. Central command twitter and youtube accounts were compromised earlier today. We are taking appropriate measures to address the matter. I have no further information to provide at this time. The official Centcom Youtube site began playing isis propaganda videos with fiery images of isis fighters but perhaps most disturbing were the personal details the hackers published after u. S. Army commanders and the top leadership of the u. S. Military including personal emails and phone numbers some of those numbers seemed to be outdated. Chairman of the joint chiefs general martin dempsey, had this morning about cyber in an interview with Chris Wallace on fox news sunday. What have you learned about Cyber Threats from the north korea hacking of Sony Pictures . How vulnerable are we to a cyber peril harbor . Cyber can be incredibly destructive. It can be disruptive, it can disrupt and it can destroy. We have in every domain, chris, we generally enjoy a significant military advantage. But we have peer competitors in cyber. The cyber attack on the centcom twitter account seems to have been halted for now. The account suspended. What is odd is that centcom had to work through twitter to stop the hacker even though the u. S. Has a u. S. Cyber command that is supposed to protect the u. S. Military and its networks from this kind of attack. It has a budget of 447 million a year. Unbelievable. And a wakeup call. Well continue to follow the story. Jennifer, thank you. Here for more, greg keelly former Senior Adviser of the Australian Federal police and has written two books on cyber crime and security correct . Yes. So you are an expert in this. What do you think happened . Its hard to say. This has only broken in the last few moments while weve been here. What we need to understand is the cyber battlefield is just that, its a battlefield. And the United States and our allies need to approach it like a battlefield. Our responses need to be more robust. But more importantly, our defenses need to be strengthened to be able to stop these sort of attacks. Theres obviously a big difference between a large data breach and all this whole amount of security and private information getting out and a simple twitter account being hacked, correct . Certainly. And we need to appreciate just how good these islamists are at this sort of attack. Theyre very focused. The pentagon gets hit approximately 4 million times a day by hackers. We cant afford to let one single error happen. We cant afford to let one get through. Thats why we need to build up our what should we do . Ironically, just as the president is talking about how safe we are with Cyber Security at the same time, centcoms twitter account and their youtube page being hacked. What do we need to do as a country to make sure this is not going to happen . I think theres a number of steps we can take, gretchen. Theres a very very fine line between what americans are prepared to give uponal security insofar as Online Activity goes and what the government can actually do. But fundamentally, the Administration Needs to take the gloves off the hands of the cia off our Intelligence Services and off the military and let them go after isis let them go after al qaeda and fight a war with them. We need to defeat them in war. Thats what were facing right now. Most certainly. Isis has warned this type of activity would happen. And today it apparently has. Greg keeley, thanks for your time. The other huge story still happening, terror in france. France rolling out unprecedented security measures as police hunt for a possible accomplice in the paris terror attacks. Right now, officers are trying to track down this same woman, Hayat Boumeddiene. The common law wife of one of the suspects who was shot and killed. She apparently left the country before the rampage and went to turkey before slipping into syria last week. Rick leventhal is live for us in paris. What more can you tell us about these security measures . France has europes largest jewish population, 500,000 live here. There are concerns more of them could be targeted after last weeks attack on that kosher grocery. Thats why authorities here have dispatched 10,000 more soldiers and thousands more Police Officers to secure synagogues and the 700 jewish schools across the country. One of those schools may have been the original target of Amedy Coulibaly who killed a policewoman and four others at that kosher grocery. Authorities believe he may have accomplices and theyre worried others may follow in his and the kouachi brothers footsteps. They are convinced there are more radical islamists and the threat remains very real. Youre learning theres new evidence in the search for that missing woman that weve been talking about now for three or four days. What is it . Yeah, turkish authorities released closed Circuit Television images from an airport in istanbul recorded back on january 2nd. It shows Hayat Boumeddiene arriving on a flight from madrid with another man, not her common law husband who later shot up that grocery store. Boumeddiene then traveled from istanbul to a small town near the turkey syria border where authorities got a ping on her cell phone last thursday before her trail went cold. Yesterday the french people made a dramatic statement against terrorists and the terror attacks with millions of people flooding the streets in a show of unity and strength supporting the 17 victims, insisting they will not be intimidated or give up their freedoms. And today, the publishers of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper announced this weeks special issue will feature another cartoon featuring the Prophet Muhammad and lampooning the Prophet Muhammad which is why the terrorists said they went and shot up the newspapers offices in the first place last week, killing 12 people. Rick leventhal live in paris, thank you so much. Speaking of that rally, that freedom rally yesterday, president obama under fire for taking a pass as dozens of other leaders from around the globe come together in a united front against terrorism. His spokesperson, josh earnest, admitting a few moments ago it was a mistake for the leader of the free world or some other senior official within his administration to be noshows in paris. And the isis terror army calling for new lone wolf attacks right here on american soil. Remember this hatchet attack that happened in new york city . How are police preparing for this kind of threat . Adds divers track down the black boxes belonging to airasia 8501, investigators reveal what they think may have now caused to plane to go down.

Welcome back to a busy day on the real story. President obama taking heat from all sides now, not one highlevel official from the u. S. Attending yesterdays freedom rally in paris. The president s u. N. Ambassador today defending their absence. I think you can count on president obama in the coming days to be just as vocal as he has been to be leading the world in terms of mobilizing not just the military response which is the most visible to many, but the Law Enforcement response. Well, the New York Daily News not buying it shaming the president with the headline, you let the world down. Democrat lanny davis tweeting, for those who follow me if you agree, please retweet and ask followers to retreat. I am sorry, president obama did not go to paris. Should have. Julia roginsky is a Fox News Contributor and david avella join me now. What the heck is going on . Josh earnest, the spokesperson for the president , basically came out and said it was a huge mistake. The president should have maybe even gone had it not been for high security concerns. But certainly a more senior official. Whats going on . I have no idea. The president , i get it. Maybe the secret service said, you cant go. That area is very open, im sure a huge security concern for he and the Vice President. But john kerry was in paris. No reason why the secretary of state or the attorney general shouldnt have been there. They should have been there marching showing a sign of solidarity. These pictures are going to go down in history this line of leaders were seeing. And to not have a highlevel american standing next to Merkel Hollande and netanyahu was there hes got a target on his back being the Prime Minister of israel, does he not . It further undercuts this president who went around the world on an apology tour saying the americans acted with arrogance all too often. And now the explanation that his press secretary says, well, the security of the president is very hard. As if the security for these other World Leaders dont need to be extremely important for their countries. As if france was going to allow World Leaders to come into their country and not have the highest levels of security. And yet the answer is an arrogant, the president couldnt have been protected enough. And when he was asked what he was doing yesterday josh earnest said he wasnt sure. There was a great Football Game on yesterday. Its not Chris Christie but president obama went to the mandela funeral. Im with you. I cant speak about his funeral security. Netanyahu has just said that the french did not even want netanyahu there. He showed up over their objections. So i dont know about the president. But of course john kerry should have gone. Is it a political decision from inside this administration, julie, first, and then david to not for whatever reason admit at all that the war on terror might still exist . If they havent admitted that which i think they probably have by not sending somebody of a high level to this rally. This is optics, right . They should have. We agree. But the heads of states more than any others marching in that rally, were 100 more committed than anybody else. More than any other country. I think our actions speak louder than its a president who its not fitting into what he wants to talk about these days. He wants to talk about his free College Community plan and all the things hes going to talking about economically for his state of the Union Address. This doesnt fit into that narrative, sorry, cant go. It shows to our allies makes them question where the u. S. Is going to be on this continued war on terror. I have to wrap it there. Thank you. Time for my take, its hate to be josh earnest day, that would be today. Not only having to respond to the twitter hack of centcom by parent isis sympathizers, but then having to put his tail between his legs and admit the administration should have sent a more senior official to the freedom rally in paris yesterday. Just now theyre realizing this . Earnest tried to brush off the president not actually going because of too many security reasons. But the message got back to the white house that the optics looked awful. And when you have even democrats saying they were embarrassed and ashamed, not a good day to be the president or josh earnest. Benjamin netanyahu, the Prime Minister of israel, somehow made it. Talk about needing security. Is this the lengths the administration will go to to not admit we still live with a war on terror . You decide. Coming up on the real story, just a short time after a canadian policeman viciously killed in broad daylight authorities there have arrested a pair of brothers now on terror charges in that country. Details of their alleged planned terror attack coming up. And renewed calls to be vigilant. As an isis video resurfaces calling for more lone wolf attacks. The countries specifically mentioned in that threat. And College Football begins a new era as ohio state and oregon face off. Its tonight folks. Whos going to win the big game tonight . Ohio state or oregon . Who do you want and what will the final score be . Tweet me or go to my Facebook Page and let me know. You just got a big bump in miles. So this is a great opportunity for an upgrade. Sound good . Great. Because youre not you youre a whole airline. And its not a ticket youre upgrading its your entire operations, from domestic to international. Which means you need help from a whole team of advisors. From workforce strategies to Tech Solutions and a thousand other things. So you call pwc. The right people to get the extraordinary done. Welcome back to the real story. Two brothers facing terrorism charges in canada. One of the men arrested at a canadian airport raising flags he may have been attempting to join a terror group overseas. But a lawyer for the men says the charges come as a complete surprise. Trace gallagher has more on that. When you think about the tsarnaev brothers and the kouachi brothers, these Twin Brothers arrested in canada have been under investigation for almost a year and a half. Carlos and ashton larmond, both muslim, are facing charges of working with a terrorist group as well as trying to leave canada to join up with a terrorist organization. Carlos larmond was arrested in canada on friday. He was about to board a plane to frankfurt, germany. Authorities think the second half of his trip was a ruse and he was apparently headed to syria. So far the Royal Canadian mounted police have not given any specifics about exactly what the brothers are accused of and the twins lawyer says he thinks the police dont have a case. And only made the arrest to stop them from leaving the country. Canada is home to two recent terror attacks. In october a canadian soldier was shot and killed. The very same week two soldiers were run down by a man who was being investigated for terrorism. Canadian Authorities Say at least 130 canadians are suspected of being involved in terror activities abroad. And just like the United States the concern over lone wolf terrorism in canada is extraordinarily high. How just a few months changes things for that country. Trace, thank you. So the threat of more terrorist attacks has the new York Police Department and other Police Departments around the country stepping up security someone someone released a video created by isis calling on followers to, quote rise up and kill Intelligence Officers Police Officers, soldiers and civilians. The video originally from september specifically mentions the u. S. , france, australia and canada. Here now, jonathan gilliam, former fbi special agent and member of the joint Terrorism Task force and former navy s. E. A. L. Long resume. A long, good resume with a lot of experience. Another isis threat, this time against Police Officers, soldiers, civilians. Right. Should we take it seriously . We should just go ahead and live under the assumption that were under a threat. We constantly get these threats and i know its good news and things get spun up. But the reality is theres no difference on a day when we have a
