Of encryption we're safe. tell us about the vulnerability that was recently uncovered. >> a lot of people will see something called wpa2. that's the encryption standard out for 12 or 13 years. what the researchers found. i was glad they did it this way. what they found is that if they could trick the router into reusing a set of keys, part of it is called the key recovery, it is regenerating the same keys it fools you into thinking you haven't used this particular encryption key before. if you have that's how they were able to break it. you think your blinds are down and your virtual blinds ar...

It. >> all right. target says that a encryption key is needed for those encryption numbers. the card wasn't stolen because it's held bien independent processor. >> you know, it's so interesting, alexandra, it really seems that target was also a victim, let's be clear about this. they were hacked into, they've had their information stolen as well. they've got security measures in place. i'm sure they're re-evaluating their security measures. it's interesting that they can say the numbers were stolen but they're encrypted. then you hear the expert saying, yeah, but there's only 10,000 combinatio...

We reached out to them yesterday and asked what the deal was with pins. here's what they told us. they said to us yesterday, to date, there's no evidence that unencrypted pin data was compromised. no evidence is what they told us yesterday. they also added, based on our communications with financial institutions, they have not seen any indication that any pin data was compromised. you can see how cleverly worded that was. i was talking to a hacker, and i said, should people be worried royalty now? he said there's two things you should understand. first, target doesn't store the encryption key ...

The stolen intel. and let me quoted ward epstein from the "wall street journal," quote, so before mr. snowden proceeded with this nsa penetration in march of 2013 he had assistance either witnessing lee or unwittingly in a arrange thanking the secure channel of encrypted communications that he would use to facilitate the publication of class tpaoeu tpaoeud intelligence. does it look to you bike glen greenwald was more complicit in all of this than we knew before? >> no, because that is old news. the news that they had got even an encryption key to share information was reported at the time of ...
