8:13 pm
servers. >> power companies are hiring specialists, like at this institute. in washington dc 1800 power officials, regulators, homeland security regulators gathered to practice fending off a hybrid attack. >> you'd have a small power company, a transformer company, blow it up, drive a bomb into it. cut power lines. at the same time that happens, you'd attack the technology - the command and control systems - to blind the companies as to what is going on. >> cyber attacks can be crippling and expensive. a series of attacks allegedly by north korea cost south korea $800 million. >> power stations like this dot the landscape. one effective attack could

8:15 pm
possible and what is likely. to look at the actors carrying out an attack like that - that's where it's important to look at what cyber security are saying from a technical perspective, as to what is possible and what we need to do in order to improve the systems, and to put it into context and figure out how big is the risk and how likely will something like this happen. >> if a large-scale blackout is not likely, what is possible here? >> what is technically possible, and we have seen it in terms of the 2003 blackout - we saw generators spin out of control through the internet - it is possible to remotely play with the systems. in and you could cause a blackout remotely by essentially accessing the system and figuring out how to manipulate the system to do something it
8:16 pm
was intended to do. what you do is definitely within the realm of possibility, but then the question becomes who would invest all the resource to make an attack like that happen. >> how much resources would it take? who would carry out an attack like this? >> that's a great question. essentially i can think of three groups of actors that could have an interest. first, states, second, criminal groups, and third terrorists. as far as we know terrorists don't have the capability. criminal groups - in terms of economic benefit - it's not the best in terms of what you can do online. that leaves us with states. states are the ones that we have seen being aggressive in terms of trying to develop cyber
8:17 pm
capabilities. over the last two years we saw more and more states expressing an interest to develop those kinds of capabilities and we see it happening in terms of the regular suspects are the permanent members of the u.n. security councils, russia, china, united states, france, u.k., and other countries like iran or israel. >> it goes both ways. hasn't the united states used cyber attacks to deal with iran, for instance? >> according to the new york times, of last year that was published in june. the united states and israeli government were the two governments that developed stux net, a computer worm developed and targeted a nuclear facility in iran. the "new york times" article points out that stux net within the government circles was known
8:18 pm
as operational olympic games, which signals that it was not an attack that took place on a day and you saw something explode, but more like an operation or a campaign that took place for months, years, and was playing with the sentry fuges at the nuclear facility. tour with the new america foundation. it's an interesting topic. we appreciate your time today. >> a football player calls it quits. he tells about an alleged bullying behind his decision. because you like it doesn't mean your job is safe. look at how recalls are becoming more popular around the country.

8:42 pm
creative class that forwards -- authors and scholars will be hurt. most books are nonfiction scanned by google and less likely to be damaged by the availability and search ability of the books. there's a fair bit of argument and research suggesting making the books available and searchable increases one's ability to find them and buy them. >> it doesn't necessarily impact books. the biggest implication is for other things searched on google. images, news. >> absolutely, google's technology - the reason google's search works great and everyone types aawon google is google makes a copy of the web, copying
8:43 pm
everything on the internet and for some time there has been a question about is that really legal or okay. others, tim wu at columbia university said it is google's original sin. this ruling goes a long way to protecting google and val dating a range of their activities, not just in books. >> you talk about the sin. there's a huge concern that in the end google will do away with books right? >> i'm more worried about amazon than google. >> nick omallee, with the harvard school. >> the latino district is struggling with a changing identity. family-owned businesses are brought up by tech boom millionaires, there's a landlord going against the tide.
