Years and had three masters degree, one ph. D. Primarily in engineering. He was mostly a logistics guy. It was not unusual that he should be sent to afghanistan at this time because, as the military draws down, and the training continues for the afghans, part of which general green was responsible. Theres also a lot of logistics involved in just how do we assist the Afghan Military, the Afghan Government in sort of rebuilding and billing up their government infrastructure at the same time . And, of course within in the middle of that in the first combat tour he arrived in january. He was tragically shot dead yesterday. And his wife and son, correct me on the details here, if im wrong. His wife served as well at one point in time and his son is currently in the military . Thats right. As a matter of fact, general green met his wife while they were both serving on active duty in the army. Shes now a retired army colonel. His son is an active Duty Army Officer at fort sill, oklahoma. Were told that it is likely that the dignified return of the generals remains will happen sometime tomorrow at Dover Air Force base in delaware. As far as the investigation goes, the shooting itself is pretty much known about what happened. There was a gunman inside the barracks. He was shooting from a first floor window, totally by surprise. No one saw him lurking there behind the window before he opened fire. The shots were fired without warning. We understand he was a young soldier in the mid 20s, perhaps, he had been serving in the Afghan Military for two years. No indication whatsoever he had any ties or connections or communications with the taliban. No evidence of any selfradicalization, as we have found in many of the green on blue shootings where afghans open fire on americans. Right now the motive is a mystery. The shooter, as you know, was shot and killed himself. Theres no way to question him. Thank you very much for the details. The largest theft of internet log in of information. A russian crime gang has stolen 1. 2 billion user names and passwords along with more than 500 million email addresses. A milwaukee firm discovered the theft and said the gang targeted anyone they could from fortune 500 companies to small websites. Justice correspondent Pete Williams joins us. We dont know the specific websites that were targeted at this point. The names of the websites . No. It would be a list that would take longer to read than msnbc has been in operation. Its probably about 400,000 sites that were targeted and from that they probably got information that is used to enter other sites. It run s gamut from personal computers to fortune 500 companies all over the world. With that said, with us not knowing it was a website you were on this morning, last week, or last year. The best advice ive heard is change the password information, user id and such. That will take care of the problem today. What is valuable that this company has is user Name Password combinations. It could sell them to others that want to steal your identified. If you change your password and somebody breaks in the company tomorrow staenl it is again, they have to go through it all over again. The longterm answer is twofold. Internet site have to have better security. The technique used to get the data has been around for ten years. Its not a new vulnerable. Its not like the hack attack on target over christmas it was clever, sophisticated and honed into target that specific company. This is brut force data theft. The second thing is, maybe some experts say get away from simple password user name combinations to get into websites. A tech nice like where you enter your password and user name and the website sends you back a text message that gives you a short term password you use to get in. Something other than user names and pass words or we have to keep going through it over and over again. I dont know if we have the time line, but you know some companies in the past where the breaches have been taken place for criticized for waiting too long to pass on the details to customers. Was that the case here or does it seem it was pretty timely information that was passed along in an appropriate time manner . I think the best answer to that, tamron, its complicated. This all wasnt just stolen by these this group of russian crime figures in southern South Central russia. Some of the stuff they got by themselves using these sort of zombie botnet attacks. Some they bought. Some have been out there for awhile. And in some cases, these companies dont know what was comprised. In some cases the companies do not. Thank you very much for those details. And now to another Security Breach. Were following this one at the airport san jose airport. The second major breach there in the past four months. Want tsa, along with local authorities are investigating how a 62yearold woman was able to board the plane to los angeles without a ticket.

On monday, 62yearold Marilyn Hartman managed to board a Southwest Airlines flight at San Jose International airport headed to los angeles without a ticket or a boarding pass. After the southwest plane landed at lax, the flight crew conducted a head count. Thats when they discovered hartman did not have a ticket. She taken into custody by Airport Police and arrested. San jose has training issue it is needs to fix. Turns out hartman has tried it before. At least six failed attempts at San Francisco International Airport in the past few months. Where she breached the tsa security twice. But never made it on board until now. Its the second major Security Breach at san joses airport this year. In april, the important made National Headlines when a 15yearold jumped a security fence and flew hawaii in the wheel well of a plane. Surviving sub zero temperatures during the fivehour flight.
