4:29 pm
talked about it. les? >> reporter: first off right out of the gate, marriott is offering free credit tracking. but like you said, for 500 million people, are 500 million of us who have had our data stolen, we still don't know who they stole it, how they stole it, or how they intend to use all of those numbers. it will take a long time to determine who was behind the hotels and resorts breach. while marriott discovered the breach in september and announced it today, the hack extends back to 2014. >> reporter: the director says while many people will shrug tis off, it's worth paying attention to the intentions of the hackers. >> one view is it's a criminal gang that intends to sell that data on the black market for profit. it could also be a nation state actor. governments are very interested
4:30 pm
in knowing where particular people were and what hotels they stayed in at particular times of year, where they were and particular events, so there are national security implications as well. >> reporter: as for consumers, marketers expect marriott to move quickly to notify those whose data was compromised and offer free tracking. >> and some kind of reward or reinforcement for their loyalty is important, maybe a free weekend at one of these facilities. it's going cost them. >> your number's in it, my number's in it. much of that data is already out there on the black web. it's been stolen from other sources. >> reporter: as if the breach isn't enough, experts also warn against secondary phishing scams, emails you might get in the coming weeks offering to help you work your way through this marriott data breach. make sure you're communicating
4:31 pm
only directly with marriott. ultimately the experts i talked to said there's this breach. there eastbound to be other breaches ahead. all we can do is really take responsibility for monitoring our own financial affairs online in this day and age. reporting live in walnut creek, i'm lezlie brinkly, abc 7 news. >> half a billion people? it's mind-boggling. let's check in with michael finney. >> he says this hack could have been prevented. hey, michael. >> as she just reported, our information has been hacked so many times in the past, does it even matter? i have a guest joining me. he's the ceo of the data company. we're told this occurred over four years. how could that be? >> hackers are pretty smart. what they do is pretend like they're real users, so they doan
4:32 pm
do anything that will spark off any kind of warnings, and pretend lie thank ire accessing data and don't take it all at once. in this case, they were very, very sophisticated. they enkrimted the data before they took it out so it would not trip any of the warnings. >> they go in, mess with the data, and take it out so the marriott people weren't warning? >> again, the details are still emerging, but from what we can tell, that's what's happening. >> bloomberg said they may have wanted the points. is that true? >> they're just as good as cash, so, yeah, it's not sur freezing. >> i guess. you say this whole thing could have been avoided. really? this is happening all the time. >> it's happening all the time because we're relying on what we call the mission impossible tletz mod thread model where we're thinking of tom cruise dropping
4:33 pm
from the ceiling and stealing disks. hacks don't happen like that anymore. there's much, much easier and smarter ways to steal data, and it requires a new way of protecting that particular inform snoogs what is that new way? >> well, the most important thing is to protect data at the record level because you never know where a record can land up, and the moeftsz important part is to make sure that you can process that data without ever exposing it. that's what new state-of-the-art techniques can do, and it's high time that the industry starts to adopt some of those measures to do that. >> one of the experts in leslie's story said it could be a state actor or it could be a criminal gang. coyo could it be both where they're going to use both sides of this operation? >> it's possible. it's pretty big t dark web. they can buy and sell people's
4:34 pm
data all day long and attract money. >> how do we protect ourselves? is it even possible? >> as consumers, the most important thing is we need to monitor what's going on. the first thing i did was make sure there was nothing going on in my record, in my reservation history. change your password. sign up for the credit monitoring they're offering and be smart. will there will be lots of helpful people who will try to contact people who have been hacked to help them. you know better that they're not trying to help you. they're trying to get more of your information. >> right. so if somebody's calling youing they're not there to help. that's pretty much it. they're not call 5g 00 million people. that number seems unfathomable to me, more people than live in the united states. is that possible? >> marriott is a worldwide chain. so this is ten times bigger than the tar gets hack that we all
4:35 pm
know about. and there could be a lot of residents. >> ameesh, thanks a lot. the name of the company is baffle? >> yes, baffle. >> one thing i never let them do is store my credit card information. thousands flooded the streets of buenos aries today. >> the protesters waved flags and held up banners with slogans like go away g20 and go away trump. today trump joined the leaders of mexico and canada with a trade deal that would replace nafta. each must ratify the agreement. >> this is a model agreement that changes the trade landscape forever and this is an agreement that first and foremost benefits
