williams says i would have to see it but they would not do anything to hinder the cause of christ, and denny says what is fox and the love of the show. >> a cybersecurity nightmare for some major u.s. retailers. and now, all of us customers of some big-name hotels are caught up in a similar mess. let's get to it. >> first from fox at 3:00, top executive for target told lawmakers his company is deeply sorry for the security breach that supposed the credit and debit card information of nearly 40 million customers. it happened today at a wide-ranging senate hearing on the breach, and on other recent cyber attacks at major u.s. companies. >> we have an ongoing forensic investigation and an end to end review of our entire network to
12:01 pm
understand what went on. since that time we have removed the malware from our system. we closed the point of entry. we have narrowed the scope of who has access to our systems. >> and a top official at neiman marcus testified and says the recent cyberattack may have exposed fewer credit and debit card accounts than the 1.1 million it initially reported, and now some big-time -- big name hotel chains, one hotel announced it is investigating a suspected security breach, including mariott, sheraton, radisson, western, hole -- holiday inn. the breach happened last year in 14 of the roughly 170 hotels it manages across the country. representatives for the company say that in at least one case the breech -- breach may have gone from the restaurant to the
12:02 pm
hotel's main computer system. what did they say at the hearing? >> debate that would do next to prevent hackers from staying more credit card numbers. lawmakers are holding herrings and issuing press releases. beyond that it's unclear whether they will actually pass a law. congress is locking at requiring retailers to protect payment data and sets fines and penalties for have to who steal the information. some credit card companies say they'll roll out smarter credit cards and payment systems, including credit and debit cards with smart chips. >> hoe secure are the cards with the chip in them? >> security experts say they're more secure than the magnetic cards we use now. still one security executive says smarter cards won't guarantee a safe transaction. >> the chip is a step in the right direction. it's not a pan see ya but
12:03 pm
definitely adds three primary benefits to the system. one is it's more encryption. so the credit card information would stay encrypted longer and make it much more difficult for the hackers to obtain that information. so that's a big benefit of chip and pin. >> the other problem is cost. credit cards with chips are more expensive. card companies don't like that. and retailers have to install new termals to read the new cards, and they don't like that. >> thank you, rich, very much. we have a cybersecurity analyst and vice-president of the internet security firm, karusa.com. >> this is the kind of thing that has been around for a while, but the retailers and the banks have been very slow to adopt the technology needed to counteract it. >> were you go overseas, especially in europe, the little chip on the card, every retailer uses it. they have a wireless thing that they stick it into.
12:04 pm
seems to work perfectly. why don't we have that? >> we don't have that because the banks and the retailers are arguing about who wants to spend on it. the banks are worried if you use one of those chips, which require a pin, you'll slow down your purchases and make it less convenient for you so they're worried about the loss of trank satisfaction. >> got to be kidding me. >> that's the truth. >> with the chim it's so much more secure. and i googled up and the difference in what it takes for hackers to get into your card i extraordinary. >> it's much tougher. >> the credit card worried i won't spend enough so it point make security better. >> credit card companies do not want you putting in a pin everytime you use your credit card because they think that's going to slow you down and make you think twice. >> that's the only reason. >> that is the main reason. >> you know what we need to be doing? we need to call our credit card companies. think of the hassle everytime
12:05 pm
this happens, and it's happened to two or three different people in the room and there's only other dozen people. >> happening to the tune of $100 billion a year. a drop in the bucket, the technology. that's why the story isn't the technology as the worry that people will move to a different way of payment, and that scares banks and retailers. >> unless and until the banks make change, what can we do? do we need to sign up for some sort of service? >> you know, theirs is what you do. unfortunately cash is still king so that's the most obvious way, but since that's not as practical, yes, you have to monitor your statements, first and foremost, and then you can also sign up for a credit monitoring service to catch if someone is spoofing your credit card. >> this one, my bank of america card, has the chip. but this is like an amex. my debit card does not have that. why would they give it to me on my american express but not on my debit card.
12:06 pm
>> different banks -- >> this is the same bank -- no, this is u.s. trust. >> different issuers have different policies how much they're willing to invest. you are someone that they're probably targeting as someone that will spend more and they're protecting it. >> the use of a pin is not going to change how much i spend. that's stupid. we are used to using pins. we use them on debit cards every day. >> again, the feeling is that anything additional on top of what people do is a fear for these guys. i agree with you. i think a lot of the country is starting to agree with you and that's why the hearings are starting. >> good. with me a pen. the hassle when you get -- when your account is hacked is beyond. it takes hours and hours, have to change your credit card number, go through so much hassle and one pin will change it? i'm for it. i'd be interested know what you think about this. tweet us,@shep news team.
12:07 pm
would adding a pin be so inconvenient or is adding a pin okay with you, and be creative. right? >> that's right. no question at all. >> and maybe they'll monitor@shep news deck because i have a feeling what will happen. new jersey governor chris christie appearing in front of the cameras this afternoon after making new comments about that massive traffic tieup controversy and political bay peak accusation that have been causing him so much trouble. we have a live report ahead. on the ten-year anniversary of facebook i go to bat, too, i believe. bat one. that's someone's computer work station and that is what you're supposed to be seeing. wonder why. facebook, it's ten years old today. has it connected you with friends in a way you're pleased about or made you constantly envious of other people's vacation photos. has it made you more of a mars cyst mars cyst?

12:11 pm
the governor of new jersey, chris christie, meeting with folk whose homes were damaged in superstorm sandy. a live look at the event. the governor's office indicated he will not take reporter questions as that bridge scandal keeps making headlines and growing into other questions about other things. we'll keep an eye on his remarks and see what happens. >> good christie says he might have heard about last year's traffic tieups at the world's busiest bridge as they were happening. might have. but if he did hear about them he says he didn't -- they didn't cement enough to remember. that is quite a shift from the governor's initial claim he didn't know about the traffic mess until it was all over. in fact until he read about it in "the wall street journal" newspaper many days later. still he says he had no idea it was an apparent plot to get political revenge. the governor says his story has not changed. >> did i authorize it? did i know about it? did i approve it? have any knowledge of it before hand? and the answer is still the
12:12 pm
same. it's unequivocally, no. >> that from a radio station in jersey yesterday. the first comment from the governor since the former appointee claimed there's evidence or evidence does exist that the governor knew about the lane closures as they were happening. the story change has happened since then. the former official did not give any details about what that evidence is, whose has it or anything else and the governor's office trashed the appointee's credibility, going back to something he did in high school 35 years ago. still, it all seems to be hurtling governor christie in the polls. it is. where he once led the pack of potential g.o.p. presidential candidates and led in a hypothetical matchup against hypothetical candidate hillary clinton. those days are long gone. eric shawn has been covering new york and new jersey politics. three players in this fiasco are refusing now to give documents to state investigators. >> and three are now refusing to testify completely. they're going to take the fifth amendment if they are called. they are three of the former top
12:13 pm
officials who have been subpoenaed by the state legislative committee investigating the bridge scandal. they include the former deputy chief of staff, bridget ann kelly. the lawyer says she will keep client. she ordered the close examination now she joins bell steppan in invoking their right against self-incrimination. a former top port authority official david wild stein clammed up. a lawyer, eddy hays, taking the fifth before a state legislative committee, is no guarantee against possible federal criminal charges. >> it doesn't affect the criminal investigation by the u.s. attorney. the other thing is the investigative body, that legislationure may call him in and take the fifth on television. generally speaking if you take the fifth amendment, everybody
12:14 pm
thinks you did it. >> governor christie says the feds have also subpoenaed his office, too, and he is not cooperating. >> the woman in question who is invoking the fifth and fourth amendment as well is the one who wrote the memo saying -- the e-mail saying, it's time for traffic problems in fort lee. >> yes. >> it ills she who would know how she came up with that and it is she who is refusing to talk to anybody. just so we're clear. >> that's correct. >> in addition, governor christie had more things to say on new jersey 101.5 yesterday. >> he has a monthly radio program called ask the governor. usually talking about boring stuff like taxes and sewers but last night he said he had nothing to do with this. he also said he didn't know anything about it. and during his appearance on the radio program he also faulted the media. >> just a game of gotcha. when did i first learn about this or that? well, the fact of the matter is, i've been very clear about this. before these lanes were closed i
12:15 pm
knew nothing about it. i didn't plan it. didn't authorize it. didn't approve it, knew nothing about it. >> official says those who have been subpoenaed are now providing documents. >> there's a question that remains about when he found out, and that matters because what people want to know is, did he have any knowledge or at any point during these lane closures of this apparent political payback business going on. all the people around him clearly enough about it. and all the people around him are refusing to testify or give up documents. for him to suggest this is some sort of gotcha game seems to fly in the face of reality. >> he says the claim from the lawyer that evidence existed that the knew about the lanes being closed at the time, they say that certainly ills -- certainly is not true. and has not addressed the political aspect. that's not the charge from the lawyer about the political payback. >> has governor christie said to the former aides, you know, i
12:16 pm
wish all these people around me, who had names and words attached to memos, i wish they could come out and tell the truth, just stand up and tell the truth, explain the whole way through. then everyone would understand, and if hey had nothing to do with it i'm sure they would say, he had nothing to do with it. also he requested that? >> he said he had staff meeting and gave them an hour to come forward and tell the truth whether or not they were involved in the lane closing, and that's why he said he fired bri bridget kelly, she didn't say anything. >> he specifically said he didn't ask bridget kelly anything about it, not one word. >> he said he asked if people knew about and it they didn't tell us. that's where he was last january. >> they're investigating on many levels. eric, nice to see you. >> a potential game-changer for teens accused of killing a college athlete. they said they did it just for fun. their attorney is making a move that could save them from life in prison if a court finds them
12:18 pm

[ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently, if we want to be ready for a longer retirement.

the police say one of them admitted they didn't have anything to do so they decided to, quote, kill somebody. the victim was christopher lane, a college baseball player from australia, who was heading into his senior season. the case gained so much attention in the united states and overseas for that matter, that the judge ordered a gag order to keep anybody involved from talking about it. the teens could face the rest of their lives in prison. the thing is, their lawyers want the court to try them as juveniles. trace gallagher has more. only two suspects in court. where is the other one? >> well, the third suspect is also in court, but he is testifying against the other two. he is 16-year-old james edwards, and he is charged with murder and accessory after the fact because, while he was in jail, he allegedly called some people wanting them to destroy the murder weapon, of course those phone calls were recorded, and just seconds ago we found out, shep, that he has just testified

12:25 pm
was seen near the murder scene and they have a guy who is testifying on the stand today he saw the suspects inside that car. on top of that, one suspect is accused of posting messages online saying that he hates white people, but police say there ills not -- there is not enough evidence to charge this as a hate crime, and unless somehow these three cut a deal, it very much appears like they will all be tried as adults, facing life in prison. >> all right. trace gallagher on the west coast. thank you very much. a warning today from america's top intelligence officials. some militants fighting in syria could try to use the united states and attack the united states. we'll gate live update from d.c. >> the dow taking a retirement fund on a roller coaster ride of late. things are looking up today after a huge dive on monday. ie -- jerri willis is here to explain it all. that's coming up. le announcer ] it's simple phics...

12:34 pm
yesterday the dow plunged more than 300-points, about two percent. there were a lot of other problems, but manufacturing was the tipping point. analysts call it a long overdue correction, after last year's record highs, but we have not corrected yet. the correction is a specific term that means pulling back 10%, and we're at seven right now and there's a big difference. >> not happened yet, and today doesn't leak like it's going to happen. the market is trading higher. the good news here, everybody loves the sale of stocks sold off across the board. this february the worst start to february since 1939. think about that. a long, long time ago. here's what is driving the market today. microsoft got a new ceo. the markets cheered that. we have a long way to go but now some people are seeing some good news in the market. >> they've only been asking bad for a while now -- only been seeing bad for a while.
12:35 pm
what's the next thing? >> yesterday we talk about industrial activity. here in the u.s., and that was a negative number win. friday the traders will be looking forward to the jobs number and the expectations are we're going to get improvement. so that's good news. improvements in the number of jobs created. last month we saw 74,000 jobs created. that was a disappointment. now 185,000. that's going to put some fire behind the market as we approach that. the level of -- the unemployment rate will stay the same. >> hoping for good jobs numbers on friday. >> fingers crossed. >> we're learning that january was the worst month for flight disruptions in at least five years. according to a firm that tracks theather delays cost americans $2.5 billion in lost business and productivity last month alone. 2.5 billion. the report also shows that the airlines lost between 75 and $150 million. in all the weather triggered
12:36 pm
49,000 light cancellations and 300,000 delays, and more trouble is on the way and not just one round of trouble. now it looks like two rounds of trouble on the way. the belt parkway and the staten island expressway are pothole after pothole so by monday there won't be any pavement at all left. >> perhaps. but we have five days to wait for this one. let's talk about this first storm system and then we'll talk about the possible nor'easter. dealing with mainly snow across kansas city. they could see six to 12 inches. that's rare for that city. and then also dealing with this icy mix over arkansas, the tennessee river valley, ohio river valley, cincinnati, you could have six to ten hours in the ice. there's your forecast precipitation. as the storm continues northeastward we'll see the potential of six to 12-inches in interior sections of the northeast, but i think -- my apologies. this is not the map i called up, shepard, but we'll go with this.
12:37 pm
this is the cold temperatures, of course, moving into the central and southern plains. let me back this up. hang on. hang on. all right. >> make it dance. >> that was my fault. so, here's the freezing rain that we are worried about. now i'm going to blame i myself. cincinnati, a wintry mix in new york city so that will keep the snow totals down. interior sections of the northeast will get six to 12 inches. a major event. but for coastal areas it's going to be that wintry mix and that icy mix. >> we get a couple of inches and then turns to rain? >> yes, absolutely. >> then that freezes. >> for new york, yes. so we're concerned, especially about the drive in tomorrow morning, mainly rain could be heavy, and north of new york is where we'll seal the snow event. >> then there's the next storm. i know it's risky forecasting five days out but i've been looking at the local forecasts,
12:38 pm
and some of them are talking about like a foot or two. is that true? i only trust you and rick. >> so listen. we're five days out. right? and so we have also built of a grasp on what is going to happen. we'll get an event. not sure because the models are split. this is the gfs model which we like to look at for winter storms and there's the sweet spot where we could get heavy, heavy snow, sunday into monday. if it's cold enough. that's the key here. but that looks like it could be main event, and then wound up as it moves north and eastward. this is the european -- >> i don't like this. >> this is a mess. if we go with this one it just kind of gives us a little bit of snow, little rain, maybe depending on the temperature, and it's not as wound up as the gfs. >> that's the one that got sandy right. >> it is but for winter storms, for our purposes, we go towards the gfs model. i'm taking both of them together and say we could see a know --
12:39 pm
snow event. don't know if witness bill a a block blockbuster. this could be warm storm. when it greats wound up it brings the cold air in but right now the same temperature next storm system, warmer storm, so, there is the possibility for major snow event. we'll hover right at the freezing mark, but stay tuned. >> we can hope for an inch of rain, not a foot of snow. >> for today? >> the weekend. >> five days out, don't forecast past five days. >> yes, ma'am. didn't mean to push. >> tomorrow, i'll have a better grasp on things. >> i'm hoping you decide by tomorrow that the weekend will be just fine. >> i don't know about that. we'll see. >> we're hopeful. hope is not a strategy but it's all i got. >> facebook turned ten years old today. has it changed your life for the better or worse?
12:40 pm
12:42 pm
12:43 pm
and we give you a range of options to choose from. careful, though -- that kind of power can go to your head. that explains a lot. yo, buddy! i got this. gimme one, gimme one, gimme one! the power of the "name your price" tool only from progressive. >> a numbera number of specifics aimed at the olympics in sochi, an official told the congress that the united states and russia are tracking threats of what he called varying degrees of credibility. the olympic committee reports it received an anonymous letter threatening to kidnap two athletes. here's a worker repelling down the side of one of the big buildings. this is the ice dome arena, home to the olympic hockey game. they have a lot of work yet to do.
12:44 pm

12:45 pm
conservation effort with the wild tigers and who can forget this horseback riding, whatever it is. ten years ago at this same time can a harvard university sophomore named mark zuckerberg launched a social networking site in this dorm room. it looks different today than back then. here's a screen shot when it launched. it said, a mark surgerierberg production, the facebook, one word, copyright, 2004. it was only available to harvard students at the time but soon spread to schools across the country and by the end of 2004, parents were on it, much to the dismay of many students. 'today officials say facebook looks like this. in fact officials don't need to sea it. it has more than one billion people using it each month. moremore americans visit facebok each day than read the bible. does it bring people together or

12:47 pm
just like the internet is a very powerful tool, facebook is a very powerful tool, and what you do with that tool is up to the users. >> i guess in essence it's better for some and worse for others, depending on what you do with it. >> absolutely. just like any good tool, all depends on the user. >> what can we not be doing? >> what should you not be doing? probably not be sharing anything you don't want made public. even -- one of thing issues facebook has will consistently have is privacy issues. no matter how much you think that update is private or only going out to your friends, be very, very careful what you're sharing online because your privacy is never guaranteed when you use a site like facebook. >> don't write on anyone's wall when inebriated. >> good rules to follow in life and on facebook. don't want to do a lot of things when you're inebriated. >> probably more dangerous to write on people's facebook walls or to tweet than it is to drive while inebriated.
12:48 pm
>> it is. and you know it's really funny. cops have been using facebook successfully to catch dumb have toes who update their status on the house they just robbed. >> that's not helpful -- helpful for the authorities but not very helpful to those who don't want to get caught. hmm. all right. nice to see you. thank you for coming. >> always a pleasure. >> well, let's go over here and see what's happening on facebook. we have been asking you to tweet us on twitter and to write on our facebook wall and stuff like that. and apparently chris has been monitoring things. anything imbear wassing or -- embarrassing? >> no nothing. does facebook make you better? evan says its helps him with his business. >> double clicked. >> it is allowing him to keep in touch with customers easier -- more easily.
