Were looking at clear skies right now but rain tomorrow, how much can you expect and when this morning, the legal fight over the nsas Controversial Surveillance Program maybe on the way to the u. S.

The retail giant now says hackers stole encrypted personal identification numbers that many use with their debit cards. But hackers cannot unlock that information. Gabe gutierrez has more on the investigation. Reporter the theft was already one of the largest data breaches in u. S. History. Under investigation by the secret service and the u. S. Department of justice. Target revealed hackers had also stolen its customers encrypted personal identification numbers. But the retailers said the thieves cant crack the code and actually use the pins. It makes me very leerily about going there. We remain confident, target says, that pin numbers are safe and secure. Heres how the process works. When a customer swipes a debit card and enters a pin, that number is encrypted at the key pad in the store. The encrypted number is then sent to an outside company which unlocks it with a digital key to process payment. Target says since the digital key is not within its system, the hackers could not steal it or unscramble any stolen pins. That would take decades for them to crack each pin independently. Its just not worth their time to go after the encrypted pins. But others arent so sure. Target maybe understating the significance because in the past the criminals have actually decrypted the pins and used it to steal cash from consumers. Also, even if the thieves dont have the key required to unlock someones pin, many debit card holders use easy to guess numbers like 1234. About 20 years ive had the same pin number. I do think someone could probably figure it out if they were really smart. Jp morgan chase is replacing all 2 million of its debit cards used at target during the breach. Many customers are nervous whether they used a debit or credit card. Days after buying a dvd at target someone charged Airline Tickets in africa on one of his cards. Two charges that total up to 1,300 and something. Reporter the nations Third Largest retailer is assuring customers their debit card accounts have not been compromised its also the target of more than a dozen class action lawsuits.

It came within seven miles of the stranded russian ship. An australian ship is now on the way but it likely wont arrive until tomorrow. The stranded ship is said to have plenty of food and supplies.
