there is a lack of motivation and sloppy play. there is injuries and just not the warriors that we're used to seeing. well, guess what? they flipped the switch and came out and played well in game one against the spurs. in fact beat them by 21 points. they played aggressive defense like the vintage dubs that we haven't seen in a while and cruised to the victory. it seemed so easy the question they had to face after the game was all about complacency, can they stay locked in mentally against a spurs team missing its best player in it injured kawhi leonard. >> it is great when you win. and we have [ inaudible ]. so it is good to play that we but let's make sure we keep that sense of urgency and play with the edge. >> we respect our opponent and who we play but we can -- we could dictate a lot of game by how we approach it so it should be how we come in every single

anyone who has ever used san francisco based task rabbit, heads up. the handyman for hire app is investigating a cybersecurity incident. they aren't saying how many people were affected or what information was lost. but users are being told to change the password and task rabbit has taken down its website and app. well from security to online privacy. that is a huge topic right now as you know. and joining me is greg sparrow, senior vice president with compliance point which makes sure that the tech industry complies with regulations and rules and tries to make sure they follow exactly the guidelines they're supposed to. and just last week facebook founder mark zuckerberg as we talked about was grilled by

congress. do you think anything will change as a result of that appearance in washington? >> yeah, i think a lot of that depends on the actual users of facebook and whether they stay focused on the issue at hand. i think what i'd like to think what has changed is the awareness and the fact that consumers are more aware about how companies are gathering this information, what they're using it for and how they monetize it. that is one of the big things missing. >> is this much more widespread than we believe it in terms of gathering of information on us. >> i think so. i think being in the industry, i think we're more aware of it but the general consumer probably is not. i think they at least -- based on the privacy policies, they just click next, next, next. they go through a lot of that and i think they're not really aware of the amount of information that is being collected. >> is it impossible to go through a single day without giving up some of your information that you don't -- >> i think if you have a cell phone on you at this point, it

is very difficult. >> really? that is scary. >> it is. >> let me ask you this. what should companies like facebook do to protect users' privacy. >> i think part of it and this is where when we come into organizations, it is really about trying to understand what the brand means and how they want to engage with the consumer. i think the organization really needs to be very thoughtful about how they do that. once we establish that, then it is really about basically making sure that they implement the appropriate controls, in the context of facebook with what we saw, i think the issue there was they had third parties with access to the data on the back end and really didn't have a lot of checks and balances in place to be able to monitor what was going on there. >> the silver lining is yes know this is going on. so that helps. greg, you work with companies looking to become kplients client -- and that is

great for the european union and what does that mean for us. >> for u.s. citizens, it zoont mean a whole lot. i don't think it applies to them unless they are in the european space and it means more to organizations right now -- organizations that have got to look at this regulation and look at whether it applies to them based on where they operate and the marketing to and if it does apply they have heavy lifting to do to be complaint with the regulation and there is a lot of teeth to it. so there is the -- the fines could be quite hefty, up to 25 million euros. >> so it is punitive. >> yes. or 4% of global revenue or greater so there is a risk for organizations not complaint. >> as we wrap up, is this online privacy issue going to get worse before it gets better? >> i think when you look at it internationally, you've got a lot of regulation and a movement towards consumerism. i think really what you have to look at is here in the u.s., what is going to happen and some

of that comes down to the federal regulations. the political climate is probably such that it is not necessarily very likely to improve in the short-term. but hopefully with issues like facebook, people become more aware and watch this stuff over the long-term. >> and add more pressure to the companies to do the right thing. >> absolutely. >> thank you for coming on. >> appreciate it. >> now your accuweather forecast. and active weather to the east in the central valley toward the sierra foothills but here in the bay area, things are coming down from what we had earlier today with the heavy rain and thunderstorms and hailstones. overnight look for partial clearing with low temperatures into the chilly zone. lows in the mid-30s in the north bay valley and up 30s in the mid bay and low to mid-40s around the bay and tomorrow under mainly sunny skies and breezy conditions with highs to upper 50s at the coast to low 60s around the bay and low to mid-60s inland. on late wednesday our next
