Buys or goes on the the fence after creating Cambridge analytical The company has immersed in a Facebook scandal for mining data Steve Benen said he did help create Cambridge analytic up but did not know about what he called Facebook mining he told the Financial Times a former Obama staffer admitted that when Facebook found out how their campaign was gathering information through the site they a lot of to continue because they were on Obama's side and in 2013 when I thought a data company might be important so some becomes global news Bennett said some of what they gathered which Facebook had a lot of the time was useful but this whole thing on psychographics was optionality in the deal if it ever worked it worked but it hasn't worked and it doesn't look like it's going to work still so it was never in the plight psychographics being targeted use of data based on people psychology Jesca Rosenthal Fox news good news in Southern California this week's massive rainfall not as bad as predicted we positioned our emergency responders in those areas of the community that the experts tell us are most at risk for damaging debris flows but fortunately none occur Incident Commander Kevin Taylor of Santa Barbara County and other areas devastated by mudslides earlier this year spared that horror this week and a former Playboy Playboy model apologizes to 1st lady Melania Trump Karen McDougal announcing during an interview with c.n.n.

Sharply pressured by worries about protests. Will trade war and the decline in tech stocks the broader market was also pressured by a decline in bank stocks as well and the Federal Reserve has lifted its key interest rate from 1.5 percent to 1.75 percent it's the highest levels since 2800 Eglash on the author of these in the temple laundry What does this all mean to us with these rates creeping back up while George I've had friends ask me you know today could I should is now the right time to buy a house I would say well given the fact that the Fed is going to raise interest rates and the Fed is concerned about all the inflation that's built up in the pipeline now I instructed him that you know considering the fact that it's going to money is going to cost you more as time rolls along I think now is a good time to go ahead and do whatever it is that you're planning on doing I mean this was the 5th largest point drop in the history of the Dow you know with 724 points so. It's all based on fear it doesn't matter what the fundamentals are the market doesn't pay attention to that it's all based on fear and uncertainty prices are going up because of the tariffs that we've seen. And uncertainty is driving the market down lower So we're in a very you know a critical time right now and I think you can expect the Fed to be more aggressive I think the key point will be if the Fed makes a 50 basis points move that's point 5 you know exactly it's a half a percent if the Fed makes that move we better all get seriously worried because we know that higher prices are on the way and that could slow the economy down tremendously can it absolutely it will slow the economy down the Fed That's their main worry they're worried about inflation there is a lot of inflation that's built up in the pipeline right now and this Fed will be aggressive if. They have to be as long as they do quarter basis point rise you know quarter percent. As long as they do it as we expect $2.00 to $3.00 more times this year it will signal that everything is Ok but if they go 50 basis points Joy I think we all should be concerned interesting Ok thanks Andrea appreciate it Andrea Eglash on wow is this more chaos in the White House or not President Trump as of now south the former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton will replace General a German Caster as his national security adviser effective April 9th the president's announcement came after months of speculation over whether McMaster would resign or be fired from his post they say it was a mutual decision President Donald Trump's lead lawyer John Dowd has resigned from the president's personal legal team handling the response to the Russian investigation let's check in with Howard Bloom the author of the genius of the beast Howard what do you think about what's going on at the White House these days well on the surface today as a replacement of h.r. McMaster as national security adviser with John Bolton looks like a shift of Donald Trump's North Korean policy why because h.r. McMaster has been a North Korea Hawk is leaning on the Pentagon to give Donald Trump military options waste White North Korea's nuclear and missile capabilities off the face of the map which is perfectly saying we need those but John Bolton the man who will take over as national security adviser on April 9th is an even bigger North Korea Hawk less than a month ago in the February 28th issue with the Wall Street Journal Baldwin wrote an op ed called the legal case for striking North Korea 1st now what's the problem for you and me with military strategies of McMaster and Bolton World War one you want to discuss this roughly a year ago World War One was kicked off by an accidental domino effect yeah. Germany and Austria attacked a tiny isolated country Serbia no problem right 2 of the biggest military nations in the world beating up on a pipsqueak but Serbia had a string of allies including Britain France Italy in the United States when the Germans and Austrians attacked this insignificant nation the pipsqueaks allies were sucked into war everyone thought that war would be over in 6 weeks or less and that it would involve very few casualties that was wrong the war would last for years and it would kill 37000000 people now like Serbia in 114 North Korea is not alone in this world like Serbia North Korea has allies those allies include Russia China Iran Syria Venezuela and Cuba 2 of those allies Russia and China have nuclear weapons mounted on sophisticated rockets aimed at America's cities John Bolton our new national security adviser may be able to make a good case for striking North Korea 1st to the audience of The Wall Street Journal but if we strike 1st without bringing Russia and China to our side if we do it without neutralizing Russia and China with diplomacy we may be signing a death warrant for America and there's one more thing McMaster was not ousted because of his approach to Korea he was tossed out because he refused to kiss Donald Trump's behind he was tossed out because he refused to feed Donald Trump's wild delusion that Russia had nothing to do with rum selection and that the Russian release of Hillary Clinton's e-mails had no influence on Trump's win in the Electoral College Trump told us very plainly and in Feb 17th tweet his real reason for firing McMaster He said General McMaster forgot to say that the results of the 2016 election were not impacted or changed by the Russians and that the only collusion was between Russia and crooked Hillary the Democratic National Committee and the Democrats close. Quote big master failed to tell Donald Trump that he is a stable genius and that his election has been the greatest thing in the history of politics and other words to feed Donald Trump you know we may be playing with a nuclear war a war that starts with North Korea and ends up Lord knows where we will see what happens in May when Donald Trump the president and Kim John on the leader of North Korea get together Howard thank you a Tennessee man wrongfully imprisoned for more than 3 decades for rape and burglary convictions was awarded a $1000000.00 from the state Lawrence McKinney's now $61.00 was exonerated by the governor 9 years ago after new d.n.a.

And welcome back to coast to coast Ga Ga with you with all this talk about cyber security and breaches we thought we'd bring in a cyber security expert and we have John Horst with us a cyber security engineer with more than 20 years of information technology experience John walk into the program good to have you with us. Thank you for having me can you shed a little light force on this Facebook issue and just what you think happened and why everybody seems to be so up in arms about it or this this is just the tip of the iceberg one of the things that I like to do the way out it's a describe it is things that happen above the table things that happen under the table what Facebook is doing what they've done with Cambridge analytic and by the way Cambridge analytical just took a page from the Obama data analytics team did exactly the same thing that the Obama team did and they're playing in the gray areas of the privacy policies that they issue now these privacy policies got nobody to reach them I think someone said you probably have to spend 2 or 3 weeks full time to read the privacy policies of all of the things that we subscribe to or use and so they'll go out and they will play in the gray area and allow companies to access the data or they'll basically monetize this data for her over a wide variety of purposes the vast majority of which we never know about we've never been asked we've never been given the opportunity to say yes or no. Well I got to tell you you know where you it's it's amazing what's happening in the cyber world these days how many breaches and everything else junk Ok what what we what we have to understand is let's start with the breaches let's start with our own identities our own privacy and cyber security we have a concept we call the threat service or the attack surface. And in an information technology system depending on how it's engineered You can have a very large attack surface or you can have a very small one obviously it's better to have a system that house a smaller attack surface Well if you think of your privacy if your identity is a prank of all of the data that's out there either that it directly relates to your identity like your Social Security or or that arises from your economic activity going on might be spending patterns of. Credit card records things of that nature you think of all of that data out there the more data out there about you the more data that pertains to your identity the more data arising from your economic activity that's out there in the cloud out there in the wild that's the attack surface when it comes to attacking your identity attacking your privacy so there is no better way to secure your identity than to minimize that attack surface and that basically means try you know do everything we can to minimize the amount of data out there in the cloud out there in the wild that pertains to your identity now the hard part is how we go about doing that exactly because I mean even nowadays John people get e-mails that look like they're from their bank or some plain are their credit card company or a retailer I mean they look like they have the logo on it and everything else and it says you know please go to a site and you know check your data or update your profile or whatever how many people get caught up into that well scams yet quite quite a few the one thing that people don't do that they should be doing is when you see a hyperlink on an e-mail. You hover your mouse pointer over the link before you click it don't click your other way and there will be the little yellow box that pop up right above your mouse pointer we call the tool to. And that tool to Icon will show you the u.r.l. That you're about to click to sometimes in some browsers you can see the status bar on the lower left you look at that u.r.l. Does that u.r.l. Actually look like the u.r.l. Of the company that supposedly this e-mail is causing good point when you see that it doesn't and you see it like a dog or you on it you know Russia then you're looking at that you're thinking now this isn't quite right. One of the major cell phone carriers I got an e-mail from them saying that I had changed my password and I have not changed. So I started looking at that and I'm like nah nah you're not going to get me and it looks so good so yes so it sounded very very good at making it look real not who's doing this stuff just all these are hackers and they come from all over the place because if you get a bank credit and Charles credit card number debit card number those things can go for hundreds of dollars when they're fresh the the value of that kind of information drops quickly as time as a compass becomes stale because people realize that something's wrong and they cancel the account all of them so that hackers make their money by selling your data they don't they don't they're not the ones who go and try to get your bank account whatever they're just simply selling it off right there selling it off to somebody who can go down and make an a.t.m. Card drain your account and the bank looks out that and says wait a minute something's wrong and they cancel it but by then they've already got a couple 100 bucks. And so you figure if you can harvest tens of thousands of these numbers no one of these numbers is going to make you a lot of money the most A.T.M.'s have a limit the you get a couple 100 bucks off of this number a couple 100 bucks off without number and if you've got a really good fishing campaign out there and you fuck wristed you know 10 to 15000 numbers that adds up to quite a bit of money on regard yet Now do these people physically have to go to A.T.M.'s that seeds were out of they do that eventually they will eventually somebody will go to an a.t.m. But it's usually a cut out. What's a kind of a cut out is where you'll go to help person and say I'll give you 50 bucks if you'll go take this car go to the a.t.m. Here's the pen now because they know the can the camera scoring right Ackley they know the cameras going for the homeless homeless person goes or takes out the money and the person is just far enough away from the camera so the homeless person can't run away right yeah yeah and there are the cut out and they of course you know if they get hauled into the police department they'll be like will discover give me a yeah and they don't know the guy's name or anything yeah absolutely. But you know when we talk about data cyber security data ownership Let's go back to this whole Facebook thing. Let me give you a couple other examples because they're even more creepy creepier than Facebook you can get one of those kits where you swab your cheek and you put that swab into a little vial you send it to one of these companies of the d.n.a. Test exactly you back this d.n.a. Report shows you where you come from they sell that data they will take your d.n.a. Genomics sequenced they will package it up with a bunch of other customers and they'll sell it off to medical researchers. Now one of these companies says that if you ask them to delete the data they will you can't get there your report later on if you want to if you lose the watch it's gone it's gone and I've got another one says that they will remove your personal identifiable information your name and face from the date of the genomics data and they sell it for medical research the problem with both of these is if they go bankrupt a bankruptcy court is going to adjudicate the sale of the company assets and I'm going to tell you right now the most valuable asset will be the data and it will be sold in a bankruptcy court with no protections no controls the privacy policies are nil and void none of that is and forcible coming out of a bankruptcy proceeding we have no way of knowing what I've dated is going to go or what it what's goi
