5:32 am
print. >> how does it work? the entire fingerprint is tough to match but it only uses a portion to match making the sensors easier to fool. >> when you take a small part of it, then that uniqueness tends to go down. >> and since most smartphones sense multiple prints and give you a few tries, hackers can get in. >> if any one of them is left 0e7, i'm in. to a security person, that's a problem. >> how this could work on a real device is still unclear. >> you may have to create a synthetic sort of fingerprint, say a glove or synthetic hand that has these master prints on them. >> apple posted the following on line. every finger print is unique so it's rare that two separate fingerprints are enough to be a match. the chance of this happening is 1 in 50,000 is much better than

5:35 am
you advise someone to go pay the ransom? >> that's it. i wouldn't advise someone to pay the ransom be if you're losing your photos and backups, you may be in a difficult to try to repay it in order to recover it and that's what we're finding with many corporations that they're caught in that situation and they end up paying it in order to get it back. >> you and i were just talking off camera about how common an occurrence these e-mail phishing schemes are. are those still very common? will people find them in their e-mail inbox? >> absolutely. i think we've all been caught in a moment of weakness where we've all been caught on that. the one thing to do to prevent it from getting into your machine is be careful about what you click on. don't download the file or click on the linc unless you're 1 thoun% sure and if you have any doubt, do let the e-mail to be safe. >> we're now living ours in a more digitally connected ways.

5:38 am
what happened this week where the events in washington seem to have a negative reaction on wall street? >> we may well see that. in fact, what's happened since the start of the year is the market has been unusually quiet. it's been very quiet. it came as a bit of a shock this week to see this move. we'll just have to see how events play out. if the investigation continues quietly in the background, maybe there's not much fallout. but if we get more revelations or reaction from administration, that sort of changes the odds, there could be more volatility. >> if volatility is going to pick up, does that necessarily mean we should go in and change our retirement savings plans? >> no, it doesn't. i think the key question is where's the economy going. we are in an old expansion here. we're now in its eighth year going into the ninth year. the market's going to be slower. overall the economy is looking okay. it's am bling forward in a pretty good fashion. so long as you're positions

earlier on this year, there's no reason to make a change right now. >> often our financial advisers talks to us about the right mix of stocks and bonds. does the potential for volatility have any indication of whether we should invest in more bonds? >> first of all, with don't know whether volatility is going to be higher than average. the second thing is interest is still really low and that makes a lot of bonds unattractive. just make sure you're very well diversified. if you think about it, a lot of it is u.s. risk. the rest of the global market is doing well. this is a good time for people to think about am i invested well enough around the world, not just in the united states. >> how closely are you and guys who work many the industry watching what happens h washington and watching things unfold with the white house in terms of managing money? >> we are watching it very closely. the president's agenda is potentially very good for the stockmarkets particularly if we
5:40 am
get cuts in the corporate taxes and gains and dividends taxes that we use to pay in part the affordable care act. there are things that are positive in the market and whether those things would be implemented. so it does matter, but for right now, there's no particular reason for people to change their allocations. >> david kelly, thank you so much for your insight and perspective. thanks. >> any time. next, we're "on the money." meet the mom trippr ekds nkds ekdsu rukds. and later, the boomerang generation, 000 keep peace when your kids come back to the northwest. and now a look at how the stockmarket entered the week.

adults have moved back home with mom and dad. they even have a name. the boomerang generation. a recent survey found more than half of the kids who returned, they feel more stress, financial strain, and they lose out on leisure time. hey, it's not all bad. it can work. joining me now is rosemary lichtman, author of "whose couch is it anyway." good to have you. good to see you. >> thank you. thank you for having me. >> why are these young adults moving home? >> it started a while ago with the main recession. the reason then was economic one. the student loans are about $1.4 trillion. the normal student, their average loan is about 30,000 dollars so the student loans were an issue and low employment rates were certainly a problem, and underploemt where kids weren't getting kind of jobs that paid them the money they needed. >> so if that's the case and your child has experienced
5:50 am
independence and self-reliance while they've been away from you, how do you make it work once they return to the northwenest? >> one of the things we've come up with is using the ccnr routine to help families really learn how to talk to one another and how to get along. when you're living in a planned community or con toe, ccnr stands for way os living together. when you live with families, they stand for communication for first "c" and either cooperation, consensus, compromise is the second "c," and respect is the third part of it. we like to have families set up family meetings ahead of time before the students move back home so the millennials have a chance to really present their positions and the parents have a chance to present their positions and they can communicate in an honest way.
5:51 am
>> and you can lay ow out how they're expected to pitch in at home financially and otherwise. when they move back home, does that mean they're failing to thrive as adults? >> not necessarily. it depends on the particular millennial and the family. sometimes nowadays there seems to be a lack of maturity in the younger millennials. they're getting older, becoming more adult later in life. 30 is becoming the new growing up time rather than in the 20s. so with the -- all the technology that keeps people connected, some of the times that's kept the millennials feeling a little more dependent. so it's really up to the parents if the kids do move back home, it's up to the parents help guide them toward more independence and more maturity. >> rosemary, thank you so much for joining us. appreciate that. >> you're welcome. it was my pleasure. up next, "on the money," a
