6:20 pm
previous wars. roxana saberi is here with more. >> reporter: the study by the rand corporation found half of those caregivers have no one taking care of them, and many of them ignore their own emotional problems like depression. i visited one woman in connecticut who is taking care of her injured husband and their four kids. she says she often feels alone. >> reporter: blair has always been a sta stay-at-home mom. she's constantly cleaning, cooking, and caring for her four kids. but over the past few years her job has gotten even harder. >> sometimes he'll, like, do laundry and might not put soup in it. that's frustrating when that happens. >> it just adds another load of laundry. >> it's double work or three times. >> reporter: blair's husband served three tours in iraq. he survived ten bomb blasts. the last one six years ago. and ended his career in the

6:22 pm
for the future is a struggle. >> i don't even think i can look at tomorrow sometimes. i just look at today. >> reporter: who takes care of military caregivers in the united states? >> no one, really. it's difficult to kind of cope alone by yourself. >> reporter: but blair hides her hardship with a smile. until i ask her what keeps her going? >> he does. he's pretty amazing. after everything he's been through he is the strongest person that i know. and i love him a lot. >> there are some social media sites and facebook pages that help people like blair share their experiences. there are some programs to help military caregivers, but there aren't that many of them, and
6:23 pm
they're pretty new. they're very inspirational. >> oh, okay, roxana, appreciate it, thank you. instead of a tax refund this year hundreds of thousands of americans may be getting stiffed. the treasury department is sending each of them a letter saying the government is taking their refund to settle old debts. but these aren't their debts. it is money the government overpaid their parents decades ago. so earlier i spoke with "washington post" senior editor mark fisher, and he broke down out this works. >> they say you're responsible if your parents received an over payment in social security payments going back decades, and there was an one-line change slipped into the farm bill back in 2008 that allowed the government to go after these very old debts. previously if it was older than ten years old you were scott free. now they can go after you, and since these debts often go back
6:24 pm
decades the people who originally were overpaid the money are often dead. so the government is going after their kids. now, in some cases the kids got benefits. in other cases they didn't. that doesn't seem to bother the government either way. their policy is to go after the kids in birth order although we've run into a number of people who were not the oldest child, and they still had their tax refunds taken. i tried to find out who originally created this change in policy. social security said talk to treasure. treasure said talk to congress. and congress said it must have come somewhere from bureaucracy. we're trying to find the original culprit. a number of senators are coming forward demanding that this policy be changed. it's up to them to see that changed, we'll see if that happens. >> mark fisher, senior editor of the "washington post." another day in the red for stocks. the dow slipping after a dismal day yesterday. the two-day losing streak has
6:25 pm
investors wondering what could we do now? ali velshi joins us. first of all, have you figured out what's going on? these losses? >> reporter: well, normally i admit that i don't know anything about these things, and who understands this market. >> oh, yes, you do. >> reporter: but look, the nasdaq is running this run down in the market. it's the one with the biggest losses, and it's the biggest running stocks on the nasdaq that are leading this, the bio techs and those stocks that had triple digit gains. these high-end tech stocks gained more. all you're seeing is a sell off of these stocks that were over run. i spoke to a guy who said some of his clients were cashing out in the past coupler weeks to pay their tax bills. if you're going to sell your stocks, you're going to sell the ones that ran the most. there is no real single reason, but it has to do with the momentum that these stocks were on, and investors saying, look,
6:26 pm
maybe these things were just not worth it what they're trading at. we're seeing hits to things like facebook, tesla and twitter. but names that are not familiar with in bio technology, pharmaceutical stocks and things like that. here is the advice i've been getting from people. the tech stocks even though they've come down 7% to 20%, they may be so overvalleyed that they're not done yet. don't charge in thinking you're getting a deal just yet. and good ol' solid dividend paying stocks have done well where people leave these high flyers and go into traditional stocks. this is not a market wide meltdown. there is no panic in this selling. it's high end, high priced stocks that people are getting rid of. >> terrific. >> reporter: i'm not terribly worried about it. >> what else are you working on. >> reporter: we're talking about the markets. we're also going to be talking to a woman, naomi prince who has
6:27 pm
written a book about the history of the tight relationship between bankers and the presidents of the united states. very interesting to see how this has evolved over the last 100 years from a place where bangers were saving the economy into a place where bankers--in some people's opinion--contributed to the trouble that we've experienced. >> ali velshi right here on al jazeera america. the computer bug flaw could be worse than we thought. hackers may be able to access smart phones and even computer firewalls. we will talk to an expert. that's next. and hillary clinton dodges a flying shoe and manages a clever response. david shuster will have that and more in today's power politics. that's coming up. >> as u.s. forces prepare to leave afghanistan, fault lines brings you an eye opening look at what life is really like under the taliban. from girls attending school, to enforcing sharia law.
6:28 pm
>> they rely on the local population, and so they need to win the hearts and minds of locals to be able to fight. >> then immediately after, an american tonight special edition, >> explain how you were able to get access to the taliban. >> fault lines: this is taliban country then, an american tonight special edition only on al jazeera america
6:29 pm
6:30 pm
>> it appears the security flaw revealed earlier this week does not only effect website. experts say the technology used to keep you safe affects androids tablets networking equipment, routers, switches, firewalls. companies and agencies have been scrambling to find vulnerabilities in their website and fix the problems as soon as possible. with us data expert alyssa hartnet. this is a lot worse, it seems to me, than earlier in the week. do we have an idea where this might end? >> reporter: that's such a good yes. heart bleed, that name gives it to it. we're bleeding information. what it comes down to this was such a wildly and still is wildly popular inscription tool.
6:31 pm
we rely on it to keep our communication secure from a lot of internet services. we're peeling back the onion. how many internet services, hardware devices, mobile apps are connecting to something that is relying on this encryption tool. we don't know the answer yet. >> is this a surprise to folks who do what you do? are you rocked like we are? >> so we're rocked because we all--we all rely on the internet in a personal way. but the security, it's not about perfection and that is key. there is always going to be data security breaches, flaws. the key is are we doing reasonbly anticipated secure ways to protect ourselves and our businesses staying on top of the latest security. with this one it wasn't widely known. for two years really apparently it went undetect: but not the hot potato businesses need to figure out am i relying on this
6:32 pm
encryption tool and am i fixes that vulnerability. and not just sitting on this information. >> if this is in the hardware, hardware of cisco, how does it get fixed? >> that's two things. one, you need to identify if you have got this cool, are you using this coo tool. if you are using it, you need to upgrade to the next version. that should be a relatively simple fix. the other thing it will be talk techy here, but do you have a signature that said yes, this is the website you intend to be talking. this is what we're going to hear more about on the news. you need to update that certificate. and those companies that use that certificate are not used to the onslaught that. >> wow, update the certificate. already.
6:33 pm
the reports that came out today that the nsa not only knew about heart bleed but manipulated it. al jazeera reached out, and the nsa denied those reports. do you think its possible that the nsa knew about this? >> well, here's the question, for two years the security flaw went undetected. the real question we don't know who was a wear of this vulnerability. we don't know what they did with it. the tricky thing with this flaw is it does not leave bread crumbs. in the past when there have been security breaches you could look back and say, aha, this is the day it was affected and this is how to identify it. but this does not leave a trail, at least not one that we're wear of yet. we don't know if nsa was looking at this. we don't know if others were looking at that data and using it. that's what alarmed consumers, they're not knowing. >> you know what is bugging me, and i'll ask a question. could this affect the u.s.
6:34 pm
military? the u.s. defense apparatus in the country? >> well, this was one encryption tool. the good news so far this was not an encryption tool used by companies that used highly sensitive data. there are were other with much more security but layers of encryption. so i think it remains to be se seen. at this point point it does not look like it's going to hit the defense level or financial institutions but nobody should be complacent at this point. everybody should be running to see if does it effect our security in any way. >> very good. we have you on "techknow." i'm hiring now. that's a good conversation. she's privacy data and security expert. have a great weekend. thanks. she already has a job. >> you're going into management, too? >> i know.
