5:00 pm
silver, and real estate." david: maybe both. hedge the bets, folks, hedge your bets, and "money" with melissa francis is next. melissa: here's what's "money" tonight. can you trust the i.t. staff of your company? in the wake of the snowden scandal, they may be the biggest risk to business security and private data. how? plus, paula deen's food empire is burning to the ground, but a top price manager says she can still pull it out of the fire. he has a step-by-step plan to save it. hope she's watching. who made money today? one of the few groups that stand to make money from obamacare. stay tuned, find out who it is. even when they say it's not, it's always about "money." ♪
5:01 pm
so we start tonight with something you probably never think about, though it stems from the scandals swirling around the nsa leaker, edwardsnow den, we have the latest on that in a moment, but whether you are an employee or the boss, do you know now trustworthy your i.t. department is? a new spotlight on how system administrators might actually be the biggest threat to the company's security and yours. you won't believe what companies faced due to i.t. staffers plotting revenge. joining us is the counter intelligence officer, john schindler. thanks for coming on the show. >> great to be here. melissa: one computer expert says they are the scariest threat to systems with god-like access to the systems they manage. is that an over statement or is it that dangerous? >> if it's not over statement, nottby much. i mean, look, we think in terms of physical security, and that's huge and how you get on to
5:02 pm
systems, but the reality is the force is the worst insider threat if they go bad, any company, any firm, any intelligence agency could face. melissa: i read a story about a staffer who was fired and then held hostage the password to the entire system for almost two weeks. how do you protect yourself from something like that? chances are inside a company, of course, the person who is the head of the i.t. knows more about the computer system than the ceo. >> of course. melissa: that's their expertise. there'sthat's their job. >> that's why they are there. melissa: yeah. >> it happens more than companies talk about because it's not flattering to public image when revealed, but, look, the reality is the easiest way to protect against these things is to be judicious about who you let be the system administrators. it sounds glib in the light of what mr. snowden is doing, but the truth is that system. look, nsa through use of,
5:03 pm
frankly, appears shotty background investigations through contractors, found itself in a shoty situation here that they cannot unravel quickly. this threat exists everywhere. we put a tremendous amount of faith in the i.t. work force and system administrators because they are the critical link, and if they go bad, you got a terrible problem. the simple answer is keep the bad people out of the company, out of your firm, out of the intelligence service in the first place. melissa: how realistic is that? there's reports he worked specifically so that he could get inside the nsa. we don't know that's true, but that's the latest wrinkle revealed today. >> well, he said that himself, so i see no reason not to take that at face value at that claim. the timeline seems right. this is the nightmare scenario. someone skilled in i.t., gets in a position of tremendous ax seases, and even thougg, frankly, he filled out some of the security clearance forms
5:04 pm
improperly, at best -- melissa: give a lie detector test? >> he was undoubtedly polygraphed because of the way nsa like cia, if you have a top secret clearance, you have been polygraphed, but keep in mind, they are questions about ties to foreign entities. they are asking you about criminal background. they are asking about really obvious red flags. smaller red flags might not be tripped, and the reality is the u.s. government, unlike, say, in the cold war, really doesn't ask people questions they should. i mean, we, you know, we don't want jihadists or neonazis with top secret clearances or working in i.t. areas for that matter. melissa: what do you do as an employee at work? when i lock myself out of the system, call in, give your password, it's clear whether you give them the password or not, they have the ability to go
5:05 pm
inside anything you have. how do you protect yourself at work? >> well, one, at a basic level, don't conduct really important personal business on any system that's not permly yours. it's common sense, but we all do it. second of all, be vigilant. no one likes to think, hey, the guy in the cubicle over or down the hall with the birthday party, is he -- is there a problem there? no one at a human level wants to think that. i thought that in human intelligence, and every single spy case i was involved in, without exception, you talk to the coworkers after, every single person said, well, yeah, you know, he was a little odd, a little strange, but i didn't want to say anything. nobodiments to think that. the problem is some people are more than straik. it's a free country to be strange, 99% do not do anything illegal or wrong, but the snowden case shows when you put this trust in people, you need to know who they are and what the motivations are or consz convinces are disastrous.
5:06 pm
melissa: thank you, thanks for being on the show. come back. >> thank you. melissa: the whereabouts unknown, and the word is he's in russia after flying to moscow from hong kong yesterday, they expect the russians to work with us and extra date diet him, yeah, right. they are ignoring the appeal. shocking. here with more is the federal prosecutor. fred, thanks for coming back on the show. always great to have you. >> thanks for having me. melissa: they expect russia to look at all options to put him in a nice basket and send him back it us. i'm not buying that for a second. >> you know what?better chance g named in taylor swift's next single. it's not going to happen, all right? the russians are thumbing their nose at us. i can't speak russian so i don't know what finger it would be, but you get the point. they will not send him back for a bunch of reasons. melissa: do you think it was
5:07 pm
just a total decoy he was thinking of cuba and ecuador? >> no. what i think is going on, melissa, these things as is so typical are kind of dynamic in the way in which they up fold, and so he may very well have been on -- to -- slated to go to russia, cubb, ecuador. they may have gotten there, russians changed their mind. i was involved in extraditions with the u.s. attorney's office, and what you don't realize or the general public doesn't realize is there's so many moving parts with these thing, the russians could decide not to send him back because they are angry at the u.s. for positions we may have taken in connection with human rights violations or putin just decided he wants to show barack obama he's not interested. melissa: or mad about the super bowl riig. you never know what is upsetting him at the time. >> never know what it could be, exactly. melissa: where do you think the report came from? supposed to leave russia to go to cuba, and there's pictures
5:08 pm
out there of his empty seat on this flight. i think we have it. he was supposed to get on and head out. in your mind, do you think -- i mean, i asked you this, but was this a decoy? if reporters knew enough to go and shoot the seat on this flight, it's not very convincing he was actually going to do it. >> right, right. c17a, right down to the seat number that we had. tell you what, you had your guy on earlier, like, that guy was a spy. first thing they teach those guys is the art of disinformation. i mean, part of what they do is send out information, knowing it's not accurate or so that people will kind of run down the rabbit holes looking, you know, trying to find the guy, and then they move him to where they want him to be. melissa: where do you think the best chanceeis to avoid being prosecuted by the u.s.? i mean, if you were him or advising him, where does he hang out? >> probably either venezuela, ecuador, or cuba for a couple reasons which of not the least
5:09 pm
of the climate which is better than russia. those countries are a member of the block, they have no love for the u.s.. that's why ecuador kept the guy from wikileaks in the embassy in london. they don't have interest whatsoever to return the guy unless that changes. you know, next week, something could happen, and the countries could need the u.s. assistance or need help in some way, and you know who is shipped on the next boat to the u.s., that's mr. snowden. melissa: hurting his chances to be a whistle blower with everything here's doing, saying, running he's doing, and the more he reveals, digging in deeper and closer to espionage and further from whistle blower? >> oh, absolutely. he's so far from whistle blower that i'm concerned at this point, forget it. you know, all this stuff coming out now, his statements that he joined just to get inside the nsa. part of what i think you are seeing, melissa, these countries are very low to send people back to the u.s. if they think they are subjected to the death
5:10 pm
punishment. he may be be walking himself towards tree son, our country is slow to do that because once they do that, none of the countries send the guy back. melissa: fred, thanks for coming on. >> thank you so much. take care. melissa: next, when you tell banks they are on their own, it doesn't end well. they learn the lesson the hard way, and investors around the world pay dearly for it. three things that you can't afford to miss this week as the china mess plays out. plus, facebook needs a, quote, good hacker to tell us 6 million phone numbers have been breached? isn't that their job? what other personal details are slipping through the cracks? more "money" coming up. ♪

5:15 pm
collapse in china is not helping. how deep is the selloff? with us, china expert gordon chang, and a fox news contributor. john, starting with you, what a wild ride from the movement we saw in the bond market, everyone focused on that as the epicenter of panic and the interest rate on the ten-year up and down selling in the market. what are you watching? >> without question, interest rates have to be first on investors of all sizes. they have not gone up, but at the fastest clii in 50 years, and it's not just junk bonds, but treasury bonds, municipal bonds, corporate bonds. bonds are seen as risk assets so for investor, that's on the screen. >> for any investor and human being because without question everyone watching television right now, you have something
5:16 pm
related to interest rates whether it's the mortgage, the car loan, the credit card, whatever it is, interest rates spiking all the sudden, and this is just the beginning, this is the big deal to you. focus on this, gordon, another huge thing people are watching today is this collapse going on, and the government says they are starving the banking system in order to avoid collapse, drive out the shadow banking system like a controlled implosion rather than a pyramid collapse. do you buy they are in control? >> no, i don't buy it. >> not for a sscond. >> there's never been an engineered credit crunch in history. melissa: would be a neat trick. >> if they did it, it's wreckless. look at what's happened. you know, beginning of may, you had the state administration on foreign exchange issue rules
5:17 pm
causing 40 billion to leave the system, and in june, this month, there's been so many crisis. two central government bill auctions fail, two big spikes, and two waves of defaults in the interbafng markets, it's more and more serious, they the central bank can't do anything right now. melissa: how concerned are you about this? >> chinese stocks down 20% plus in six months, the definition of a bear market, and it's not just china, but emerging markets around the world, and for us domestic investors that used to be strong like commodities, emerging markets, for example, they are weak right now. it's obvious that the rules, the game is really a changing and leaders are laggers. >> what are the other major things you watch other than interest rates? >> well, i think you really -- ironically, what we'd love to see is real fear. obviously, the market and the
5:18 pm
weakness is starting to be some front page news, but we have not seen the massive con pitchlation in stocks or bonds that are down 500 day on massive volume that suggest a belonger, tradeable bottom is in place. we have not seen that. a lot of fear and hesitation, but not a major signal that we're off to the races again. >> the final thing, quick, before back to gordon that you look for is a segment that would be a leader, a group that's going to be a leader? >> yes. that's just it. on a day like today, investors say, well, what's out performing the pack? one day the market's up again, and if it's not commodities on emerging markets, what's it that leads the market on to new highs? it's a muddled picture. melissa: any way this works out? >> no, can can't. essentially thing what the central bank does is realizing every option makes it worse. they watch it fall down.
5:19 pm
when you start to see the products, maturities, they can't deal with them. >> sitting at better than 7% growth, which was in decline for them, but so much better than where we are. do they go to zero, two, five, what happens? >> they are already zero. look at three or four, maybe, but once you takous useless production, you get down to about zero. >> that's a cay cay tas catastre world because we watch that where everywhere else is not working. >> that's not going to happen now, and way we see is a failure in china. melissa: thanks to both of you, appreciate the time. time now for today's fuel gauge report. the supreme court dealing a blow to oil refiners not hearing the challenge to an epa approval of the e15 ethanol gasoline. can't believe it. it can cause serious damage to cars and trucks, voids
5:20 pm
warranties in some models, and a court dismissed the challenge that would stop it from being sold. oil futures efined the sell off, and heavy flooding in canada is reeking havoc, and it's raising supply concerns. canada is the u.s.' largest source for foreign oil helping push crude more than 1% higher at 95.18 a barrel. more bad news for iran. south korea says they will cut exports by 18% since sanctions began last year. they are one of the few markets remaining for crude. it's a blow. coming up, more than 6 million facebook user had their phone numbers leaked to the public, and it took a good hacker in order to discover this. where else is facebook asleep at the switch in we have the details. paula deen's empire couldn't look more cooked,,but a price

melissa: wall street or main street, here's who made money. anybody owns vanguard health care systems bought by tenant health care, the larger rival, and hospitals are expected to see millions of patients demanding services. news of the deal sent shares help skyrocketing more than 67%. wow, good day for them. congratulations. hoping to make money is the
5:26 pm
luxury retailer filing for an ipo k speaking so raise up to a hundred million dollars. they were taken bbck private eight years ago in the filing, and he says it's seeing a surge in demand for the customers. how nice. soon to be spending more money, junk food addicts, twinkies, ho-hoes, and other products returning july 15th. the equity firm that bought hostess are bringing them out of bankruptcy. they will be rolling again. thank goodness. see, private equity does good things too. all right. facebook facing another setback sure to anger millions of users. the company admitting a security breach that exposed 6 million of its users information like e-mail addresses and telephone numbers. this is extremely unsettling to say the least. here to say how concerned we should be, tech guru and "fortune" editor at large. great to have you back, adam. >> thank you very much for
5:27 pm
having me again. why did it take a, quote, good hacker, to bring them to their attention? doesn't they have hack-a-thons? they should have every engineer on the planet working for them. why an outside person? >> take a moment to talk about the word "hacker," it gets confused. they used to be evil people who hacked into your computers and facebook made the word "hacker" @%pular as the good kind trying to come a with creative ideas using internet software for services. now, facebook as many other companies do has a white hat program encouraging good hackers, hackers who are computer people interested in helping to say if you see something bad out there that could hurt us, tell us, we want to know about it. in their defense, people are focused on building products, not necessarily paying attention to the nasty criminals.
5:28 pm
>> they are not focused on protecting information that everyone has wisely or stupidly uploaded to the website? >> you know, i'm not saying that. obviously, they have people whose whole job is to make the platforms secure. we can talk about whether or not they do a good job, but that's -- melissa: that's the original question. how do those people not find that? what else is slipping through the cracks here? >> well, the company like facebook and boring old telephone company. say what you will about the telephone company, they protected it for decades with their gold plated technology of protecting our information, and i believe facebook, google, twitter, and amazon do a good job and act in good faith, when you give your information, you are taking a chance a little bit, and i think you have to think about what it is you are willing to give those companies,
5:29 pm
they are trying, but they are growing fast they are not as good as the bad guys. >> that's a great question. nobody knows the sector better than you. what have you given to facebook? how much information do you have and not shared with them? i'm going to copy what you do because you're the smartest guy out there. >> well, that's over generous of you, but it's interesting. i'll look. if i remember correctly, i'm relatively cautious. i don't put my telephone number or my social security number. i let a public user on facebook see little and don't let my friends, you know, the friends on facebook see much either. i'm comfortable with, you know, who my favorite sports team is or where i grew up, but i don't want them to know my birthday, my telephone number, my child niece name, that thing.
5:30 pm
melissa: couldn't agree more. when a site asks too many questions, i say forget it. it's not worth it. i don't want to tell that much information. there's a certain amount you have to get out to get business done, but like you said, when it comes to your phone number, maybe there's a standard bank, that's the phone number online a couple digits off from what it is, but that's a good policy. go ahead, the last word. >> yeah, if you want to use the services, you really are at the mercy to some extent. the perfect example is like everybody else, i try to use one or two of three passwords meaning every service i have has that password, and in theory, they could be bad people and hack into the other services, but if you want to use the services, give them your password. melissa: thanks so much for coming on. >> my pleasure. melissa: you heard how a good hacker brought the breach to light. how good is a good hacking
5:31 pm
business? fox business' jo kent joins me with more. >> who knew hacking is a good business, and what strikes the interesting facts is the facebook, like you mentioned before, had a bug for a year, but they didn't find it themselves. the hacker, slang for ethical hacker, is a new type of industry that's starting to boom. the guy was rewarded with a bounty and acknowledged public by facebook in a statement. this is what they said, "we appreciate the security researcher's report to the white hat program and paid out a bug bounty to thank him for his efforts." how much money can you make as one of the good ethical hackers? at google, at least $20,000, mozilla, owner of firefox, started this idea, they start add $500, and facebook, also, $500, and microsoft, it's
5:32 pm
$11,000 and up. now, companies say the most sophisticated the program, the bigger the bounty. check this out. microsoft on wednesday, this coming wednesday, june 24th, is launching and calling for all friends, hacker, and researchers for a direct cash payment program for three bugs. they'll pay now up to $100,000 for techniques that breakthrough protections built into their latest windows system before that system even launches. the microsoft security response center says it's a way of hearing about problems as soon as possible and getting out ahead of the pack that could turn against them launching problems against microsoft. they'll hopefully save money. to be clear, the white hackers, melissa, are college students, programmers, that participate in the all-night hack-a-thon, and it could be anyone who has the skills to identify a problem. lots of company are using them,
5:33 pm
even nato. melissa: pays to be a nerd. i need it, i need it. >> yes, thank goodness. melissa: next on "money," paula deen responds how not to respond to a public relations disaster. is all off for the queen of food and her empire? a top crisis manager gives us her rescue plan. plus, highly paid traders on wall street are thrown out the door all due to some competition. how much deeper will the cuts go? it's all the word on wall street, and you get that right here. piles of money coming up. ♪ ♪
