offensive called, quote op usa, this as an 83-page report is issued to congress accusing the chinese military spying on the u.s. in order to steal technology. eamon javers is live in the town of rome, new york, with a special team protecting america's internet infrastructure from those hackers. over to you, eamon. >> reporter: hi, sue. take a look at some of these pictures. various web sites around the web have been assaulted by this team, which is apparently some combination of anonymous and islamic-based cyberattackers. they're putting up pictures defacing some of the web sites, causing problems basically, but nothing that seems too, too severe at least so far, but there's a lot of evidence these attackers have been very active today across the entire internet. this comes one day after the pentagon for the first time really called out chinese

cyberhackers, and laid out in specific what they think the chinese military is doing. take a look at this report that the pentagon put out yesterday, saying china is using its computer net work exploitation, to support economic and defense industrial-based sectors that support u.s., national defense programs. and speaking of u.s. national defense programs, where i'm standing right here is the cyberincident response center, part of a compete calls excelus. as such they're on the receiving end of a lot of activity. what they're doing here is examining the inbound attacks, parsing them apart, figuring out what kind of malware is coming in and figuring out how to respond to all of that. the folks here say over the course of the years they've been doing this, they actually developed a grudging respect for the adversary. take a listen. >> i think what really surprises me about it is the creativity that they come at you with.

i keep using that word, and i mean it. it's one of those things we will sometimes sit there and go, that's really cool. it's evil, but it's cool. >> reporter: so evil but cool is the way they look at it here. they're constantly watching these activities. but all of that is coming in in real time. they're working in this room here, in this office in rome new york, to trying to defend the company. bev breaking news from the bond market. the three-year note was up for auction. rick? >> welcome to the may refunding. 0.354, which is right in the middle of the w.i. market, toward the bid side, which was 35.5, offered at 35. the ten auction bid to cover, sue, is 3.57.

first what many are calling the great rotation into technology stocks, and seema mody is covers it live at the nasdaq. >> tyler, it's something we covered on "power lunch" just a month back. we're finally seeing this rotation of capital into tech, and here are a couple reasons why. analysts say the better than expected economic data is usually direct already correlated with i.t. spending, second, many of the defensive sectors like health care and consumer staples are trading at a premium to the yield seekers are finding dividend-paying tech stocks. much of that has to do with appear 8, though mark newton at gray wolf says apple is getting close to overbought levels. aside from many ale, it's the other tech giants that have defensive qualities, stable earnings growth that are leading this tech sector higher. microsoft, another name that has moved sharply to the up side, the 2.7% dividend yield. it beat on the earnings.

that stock is up about 16% over the past month. tyler? >> seema, thank you very much. now to a tech giant that seems so often sort of not to be able to get out of its own way. microsoft is the company. year to date though, up. problems with windows 8. jon fortt is on the case. hi, jon. >> hay, tyler. windows was about 28%, delivering 5.7 billion in revenue, flat with the years before. that brings us to today's news. microsoft saying in the plainest language yet that windows blue will be coming before the end of the year. what will be new? well, microsoft said during the earnings call that smaller tab letts are on the way. that's one change. microsoft chief marketing officer also hinted today at changes in response to customer feedback, which may mean the return of the start -- it

certainly means more options for businesses. now, i sat down with microsoft's ceo steve balmer in the fall, and he talked about what he was trying to accomplish with the o.s. >> we're trying to evolve window in such a way that they can use windows devices pcs, tab letts, et cetera for play and for work, and not have to compromise between the two. >> one way to read window blue is that microsoft's no-compromise approach has resulted in some compromises, particularly pc users says it's to tab lett like. we'll see if microsoft strikes a better balance this time. >> the hedge fund manager said hi form has added to its position, calling it a more shareholders friendly outfit. after hitting an intraday low back on april 20th, the stock

it. three times the length of an american football pitch. 4,000 guests on board, 1600 crew members. you mentioned how well norwegian's stock prices has done recently. since it ipo'd, there's the promise that it will take on the bigger rivals and do that through generating superior profits through the way it can innovate with ships like this, that it can drive the margins, 400, 500 basis points higher through the innovation. we have five water slides here, we've got a huge rope jungle up here which we better not really mention. cartoon characters, three broadway shows, and that is how you get people to book, guys, and tyler, to pay more for that booking. back to you. >> we want you on the water slide before the end of the day, simon. promise? >> reporter: dream on, tyler

mathisen. dream on. >> see you later, simon. we change gears completely now. afternoon amassing story and it started with this disturbing 911 call. >> i've been missing for ten years, and i'm here, i'm free now. >> that is the voice of amanda berry. she vanished in 12003. she and two other women were being held in this home undetected for about ten years. it unravelled when a neighbor, charles ramsey heard berry screaming for help. listen. >> i was at mcdonald's. i cam home, in my living room eating my big mac, and we heard this girl going nuts on the door. >> brian shactman has been following the torrie that has the country talking. >> basically they escaped from captivity. not only do we hear and see things unfold.

neighborhood is an older dude. i handed him the mail. i saw him at 3:30 today. he looked the same -- you figure if you're doing what you're doing, you've got to give something away. he's cool as a cucumber. she said her last name was berry, help me, naturally it clicked in, you know what i mean? i took her, pried the door open so she could climb through there. how he has the dorell, he had it locked, and she said there's three more girls up there. i figured she meant children. that girl just walked out of there. they had them covered up in blank either, skinny, dehydrated or traumatized. >> you almost don't know what to say. the trauma that's potentially involved. they're at an undisclosed location. we'll know more as the case goes on. there was a case like this in california, where someone was in captivity. >> it's amazing that nobody around them saw or knew. i just can't fathom what was

going on. >> brian, thank you very much. sue? gentlemen, thank you, michelle caruso-cabrera really going after attorney general eric snyderman this morning. did he know all the facts before taking one family's side against the banks? this isn't the first time a big politician possibly didn't back the right horse. that's coming up next. plus much more of simon hobbs on that new cries line ship. he's going to show us some of the fun stuff on board. looks like it's more scared than fun, but simon is a trooper. we're back in two.

refinancing. to do that -- >> it couldn't have been a refinancing. the mortgage would have been almost over at that point? they took money out, probably? >> i don't know how much they took out. >> but shouldn't you know that since it's in your press release? that's 9 item you cite. >> no, we're actually not going after the harts. >> i notice, you use them as the example of why you need to take this action. >> we have 339 complaints like this family, a who will stack of complaints if you want to see them. >> let's say the banks bear a lot of blame, i'll give you that. do the hardens bear any responsibility for having taken on a lot of new debt for the home that was almost paid off. >> you can make whatever argument -- i don't know you know the facts -- >> and you don't either, apparently. >> diana olick covers house, you birr first back to michelle. michelle, he said you could have

june. >> i think the -- the attorney general himself is known as a crusader. a lot of people are understandably critical. they wonder if he's gone to the elliott spits are school of advancement, and when he doesn't necessarily know the facts of the case, that he's presented in the press release, it makes you wonder if he's just using them as some kind of pawn in order to advance himself. >> yeah, i think that's exactly the point. michelle, diana, thank you very much. appreciate it. all right. let's send it over for josh. >> we are watching radia here, near the radian saying the inventory the mortgage delinquencies fell from article 85,000 to some 81,000. some analysts are still skeptical. they point out what they call the big inventory of 12-month late payments. it can be a bad signs, because many of those loans could go into foreclosure. they say the amount of claims paid in april is higher than guidance earlier in the year.

want exclusivity to be here in what they called the haven, which is air conditioned. there are only 42 cabins that have card access only to this area. this is what norwegian calls the deluxe owner suite. the out150id area here, totally private for you, the spouse or the family. the table for the meals that you won't be coolinging yourself, because you get 24-hour consequence years of age, and the sore of bedroom that will make the madisons or herreras feel like they're on their own private holiday. the biggestship will home port here in new york. a bathroom that would make any manhattan resident proud, complete, of course, with running jacuzzi. so that's what it looks like. the question is, can the company deliver on raising its profitability by 400 to 500 basis points when it's increasing capacity at 13% a year. that exclusive interview, guys

anywhere, but they still want exposure to equities, so they get it. >> we get these historic highs, still weak volume. in the old days, and i'm getting nostalgic, confirmation you would be looking technically for improvement in -- it's been the missing component. >> that's why you should by concerned. if it should start to turn, and all of a sudden people get concerned, it will go down just as fast. but there were consumers concerning iran earlier, and the market didn't sell off as dramatic. >> it doesn't seem to be affected at all. >> they were ability to confirm many of that, so a lot of the sources weren't particularly reliability. >> the market seems to be discounting everything. just not paying attention to anything that's happened. >> let's bring josh lipton into this, and we can talk more. hey, josh. >> hey, sue. the s&p 500, here's your headline. it's now an official bull market territory, up 20% from the low in november.

welcome back, everybody. power rundown time. robert frank is with us, so is kayla tausche. she's in manhattan covering the bike share program. we'll talk about that in a moment. first, the ongoing saga of jamie dimon, section proxy for him now, wants to split the chairman and ceo position, so how much pressure, kayla, is dimon really facing? >> reporter: the pressure is mounting, tyler. that is no question about it. but it is interesting to look at these proxy firms, traditionally they do pit themselves against the company and against the incumbents. "new york times" found 73% of times iss, which is one of those firms, sides with the activist in a situation, so it's not exactly a proxy for how shareholders will vote and shareholders are undecided, but no doubt the public vendetta is

building. >> robert, if i were in his shoes, a part of me would say, you don't like the job i'm doing? i get out of here. >> well, i think he should give up the chairman's role, which is largely symbolic. if i'm a shareholders, i would matter management spend time on managing the business than fighting what is largely a symbolic fight. >> robert, you're covering a story that tokyo has more million theirs than any other city in the world. uh, u., tokyo still? >> i was surprised. they ranked the top ten cities. tokyo number one at more than 461,000 millionaires. the reasons behind this, and there are a lot of rich people in japan. we talk about stagnation, but so much wealth was created in the 1980s. in the wu we kind of spread or wealth around. the jan, the population of

millions nars to the population in general is concentrated in the big cities. very interesting the kayla, despite twists, delays, turns, the bike share program may finally be kicking off in new york. tell me about it, why is it ready to go now. >> reporter: that's at least the plan in theory. it's set set for a launch on memorial day. i'm told they're in the process of install some of the bike stations north of 45th street here in manhattan, but there have been issues ranging from learned sandy destroying some of the bikes to legal issues over some co-ops, suing the program because they didn't want the bike stands outside of their buildings, but all told, we are expected that the stations will be completed and it should be launched memorial day. but we will keep you posted on that story and whether that actually happens. >> you see the concessions in other cities, we saw a lot of people using it, but in new york, you have new york drivers,

cabbies, not the friendliest types on the roads. let's move to governor chris christie. he's had lapband stomach surgery. he says he did it to improve his health. but robert, you cannot help be speculate he's doing it to improve hi presidential chances? >> no, look, i take it at his word, he's doing it for his family who wants him to live for a long time, as we all do, but to the extent that politicians are model citizens, i wish he had done it in a more inspirational way, so he could set a good example rather than the surgery, which is a $15,000 procedure, but i think it's great that he's taking action. a lot of people focus too much on the weight and not what a great politician he is. >> kayla, thoughts here? >> reporter: tyler, what it tells me is that christie doesn't believe his own claim. two weeks before he went into the surgery when he said, i'm the healthiest fat guy you'll ever meet.
