good morning to our viewers in the west. it is friday, december 15th, 2017. welcome to cbs this morning. president trump's sweeping tax plan faces a new obstacle. senator marco rubio says he'll vote no if the bill is not changed. just one of the challenges facing the biggest tax overhaul in 31 years. republicans vote for huge changes to the internet. why the move could be costly for consumers. a texas mom is jailed for medically mistreating her 8-year-old son. authorities say he had over 300 doctor visits and 13 operations apparently for no reason. and nasa discovers a faraway planet in a solar system that

looks a lot like ours. see how artificial intelligence from google gave astronomers a break through. but we begin this morning with a look at today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. >> senator rubio will be there. we're doing very well on the tax front. we have tremendous support. we have tremendous spirit. >> deessential in the ranks threaten tax reform. >> unless the child tax credit is made more generous. >> i want to support tax reform, it's important to the country. >> president trump spoke with russian leader vladimir putin on the phone. >> they talked about the crisis over north korea's nuclear program. >> the new york city police department investigating allegations of rape against music mogul russell simmons. he denied the allegations. >> nasa's telescope has discovered an eighth planet in a distant star system. >> with all this data coming, for scientists it's like trying

to drink from a fire hose. a firefighter has died while battling the thomas fire flames northwest of los angeles. >> tragic and devastating day. >> if florida, a man riding a jetski was thrown into the water. an off duty sheriff's deputy was nearby. >> i got you, bro. >> and he's in for the touchdown. what a throw. broncos will move to 5-9. >> and all that matters. >> the fcc did something absolutely despicable today. they voted to put an end to net neutrality. >> if you're watching the show right now, online right now, i want to remind you that -- >> on cbs this morning. >> on tuesday, very unexpectedly, my wife julia gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. my wife will probably kill me but just this once i'd love to show you a picture of us with our little girl. there we are. there we are. i can't believe it. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota, let's go places.

>> james corden's joke, that was brad and angelina, but they did just have a little baby girl so congratulations. >> confused i'm sure. >> all the time. welcome to cbs this morning. with face the nation's john dickerson and bianna golodryga. norah is on assignment. republican leaders made a promise to finish tax reform by christmas. their plans just hit a major stumbling block. republican senators marco rubio and mike lee object to the size of a tax credit for low income children so that means the gop has not nailed down enough votes to pass the overhaul. >> rubio says he'll vote no if that credit isn't increased. lee is officially undecided. president trump and other gop leaders say they can work out the problem. >> but there are other challenges including the health of two key republicans.

nancy cordes is on capitol hill with the latest obstacles to tax reform. nancy, good morning. >> good morning. republicans are planning to unveil the text of their bill later today so that people can actually read it before they hold what they hope will be a vote as early as monday. but, in the meantime, they have run into several significant problems with no easy solutions. >> i think that senator rubio will be there. >> reporter: republican leaders are scrambling after florida's marco rubio and utah's mike lee issued an ultimatum. they're demanding that the refundable child tax credit be increased by more than $100. and earlier bill would have doubled it. >> unless they can figure out a way to add to the 1100 figure, i won't support the bill. >> tennessee's bob corker could also be a no. he's worried about what the bill could do to the debt. >> how are you? >> reporter: and then the two republican senators who are ailing and have missed votes all week. arizona's john mccain and

mississippi'sed th ed thathaad . mike pence is delaying a trip to jerusalem in case he's needed to break a tie. >> it's about timing and managing absences in the senate. >> reporter: there could also be an issue with senate rules. the plan can't cost more than $1.5 trillion. but this version appears to be even more expensive than the last. >> the public knows it's awful. >> reporter: democrats argue the bill is a giveaway to big businesses that are already thriving. it permanently slashes the corporate tax rate and does not close many corporate loophole also as republicans initially promised. >> it's a monumental con job. >> reporter: the individual rate cuts on the other hand are set to sunset after 2025. and republicans are now considering moving that date up to save money. >> this is being rushed to judgment. and the american people by substantial numbers believe this bill is not good for them. >> reporter: these republican

challenges do not get any easier if they buy themselves some time. in a couple of weeks, they are going to lose a senate seat due to that democratic win in the alabama senate race. so gayle, they are really working to figure out what they can do right now. >> yes, they are scrambling. thank you very much, nancy. john do you think republican senators could really vote against the bill or is this just all for show? >> well, corker of tennessee already voted against the senate version, so he's probably where he's going to be. marco rubio, it's a little bit -- he's getting some negotiating out of this. it's surprising that more senators don't do this. you get gift baskets. you get what you want when you're the person. but what's interesting about what rubio and lee are doing, is they are in a sense focusing the last mile here on this legislation on this notion that basically a lot of the benefits of this tax package go to either the wealthy or corporations. why not a little bit something for the working poor? it kind of crystalizes at the

moment here an argument co democrats have been making. >> when it comes to the vote? >> i don't predict, gayle, especially in this political comment. it is a real challenge for all those timing reasons that nancy suggested, which means i think we'll have a little burst of excitement here at the end. >> the president putting a lot of pressure on him too. >> she suhe sure is. we'll see if he's a salesman. >> john looks at the tax bill with the republican senator james lankford and independent senator bernie sanders. that's sunday right here on cbs. president trump is at the fbi training headquarters in quantico, virginia, this morning. his speech to law enforcement managers comes at a sensitive time. last week the president said the bureau's rep tration is in taters over its handling of recent allegations. julianna goldman is at the white house. good morning to you. >> the president made quite a bit of news as he headed to marine one for that speech at

the fbi. perhaps the top headline is the president saying alabama senate republican candidate roy moore should concede. he said we'd like to have the seat. but he did sound still optimistic that congress would pass tax reform by christmas. he said it could come as early as next week. now, on his way to the speech at the fbi, the president doubled down on his criticism of the bureau. saying it's a shame what's happened but they'll rebuild. now he was responding to retch lations that former senior investigators sent texts that disparaged him as a candidate. on russia, he said there was no collusion and circled back to criticism of the fbi's investigation into hillary clinton. he is visiting. as he still refuses to accept the assessment of his intelligence agencies that russia interfered in the 2016 election. >> julianna, thank you. the president also said this

morning, that russian president vladimir putin said very nice things about him on the phone last night. they spoke after putin's year end session with reporters where he acknowledged america's strong economic performance. elizabeth palmer attended the news conference. she's outside the kremlin in moscow with the latest on this story. elizabeth, good morning to you. >> reporter: not only did president putin mention those booming financial markets, he gave credit for them directly to president trump. in this four hour long marathon press conference, president putin had nothing good to say about america but he did praise donald trump. he dismissed the russian allegations of meddling in the american election as just the work of people opposed to donald trump who wanted to undermine his legitimacy. which, by the way, is exactly the explanation used by the white house. this lining up with president trump and criticizing america is a very good way for president putin who still sees the u.s. as

an enemy, exacerbating the turmoil and divide in american politics. gayle. >> elizabeth palmer reporting from moscow, thank you. bianna. >> some threatening lawsuits after the federal communications, commission removed so-called net neutrality rules on internet providers. the fcc's new chairman said those regulations were blocking innovation. the repeal could hurt content providers like google, facebook, twitter and netflix. they say the fight isn't over. >> the chair votes aye. >> reporter: the federal communications commission moved forward in a 33-2 vote. outside, threatening to overturn the ruling. >> we are out here in the cold to turn the heat up on the federal communications commission. >> it is time for us to restore internet freedom. >> reporter: the chairman argued the internet is not a utility that the government can regulate. >> what i am saying is that it

is not the job of the government to be in the business of picking winners and losers in the internet economy. we should have a level playing field and let consumers decide. >> reporter: those against the measure say internet providers will charge consumers for high-speed internet and those who can't afford it will be left with poor connections. on thursday, critics of chairman pai launched attacks. >> you can still post photos of cute animals. >> reporter: he appeared in this video which many saw mocking their concerns. >> he doesn't seem to care. he has refused to cooperate. he sort of laughed that off. >> reporter: new york attorney general eric schneiderman says he will sue the fcc claiming the process of voting was not sound because the mandatory comment period was wrought with millions of fake comments. >> this is not what the american people deserve. we don't think the courts are going to put up areward dissenting commissioners also claimed the majority refused to listen to public opinion. >> the agency that is supposed

to protect you is actually abandoning you. >> reporter: now, this repeal won't go into effect for a few months so consumers won't be seeing the changes today. the fcc is trying to ease some concerns saying that if an internet provider does raise your rate, that it has to disclose that. of course they can do it in the fine print that so many people don't actually read. >> nobody reads fine print. well, very few people read the fine print. the new york police department is investigating allegations of sexual misconduct against music mogul russell simmons. at least four women accuse him of rape or attempted rape in the 1980s and '90s. one accuser tells cbs news that simmons held her down while she kick and screamed. a spokesman for russell simmons says he will support and cool rate with the police inquiry. simmons denies the accusations. dustin hoffman is facing new sexual misconduct allegations. "variety" reports on accusations

of harassment and assault from three women. one says the actor exposed himself in a new york hotel room when she was 16. two other women in the article said hoffman sexually assaulted them in the 1980s. his attorney called the new allegations defamatory falsehoods. a dallas mother is in jail this morning accused of faking her 8-year-old son's multiple illnesses. a report obtained by the ft. worth star teltelegram reved christopher has more than 300 doctor investments and endured 13 major surgeries. his mother is now charged with injury to a child. omar villafranca is at children's medical center dallas. he spoke to the boy's father. omar, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. soon after christopher was born, his mother is accused of saying he had multiple illnesses including cancer. doctors at this hospital blew the whistle and child protective services found that the boy had a feeding tube, was on oxygen and was even taking medication

for seizures. and he may not have needed any of it. more than 300 doctor visits. 13 surgeries. >> yes. >> reporter: christopher bowen's father ryan crawford says he has been trying to get custody of his son for the past three years. but christopher's mother, kaleen bowen wright, claim his her son was on his death bed each time they were in court. >> as soon as she would get on the stand to testify, each and every time, she would just start crying, basically saying he's in a co coma. >> reporter: a local news report covered a fund raiser in 2013 to help pay for his alleged fight against a lung disease. over the past few years, at least two other fund raisers were created for christopher online. were you worried she may kill him? >> i figured that one day that would be the end cause. >> reporter: child protective services says for eight years bowen wright per her son through

a series of medical tests and surgeries. but staff at dallas children's medical center began to suspect christopher wasn't really sick after a visit last month. they called cps. an affidavit from the agency suggests doctors believed bowen wright may suffer from munchausen syndrome by proxy, a mental illness where a caregi r caregiverer fakes or creates individual's symptoms for attention. >> those are certainly common elements of our cases. >> reporter: matthew gilbert is the regional director of investigations for cps. >> these investigations are very rare. they don't come up very often. >> reporter: the 8-year-old and his siblings are in foster care. christopher's father says his son now appears to be physically healthy. >> i am so sorry that i wasn't able to be there to stop the harm that has been done on to you. >> reporter: we reached out to the mother's attorney but did not hear back. it's worth noting that cps says

people with this syndrome often go shopping for doctors to avoid being caught. as for ryan, he will be in court next week, hoping to get custody of his son. >> omar, thanks. nasa is celebrating after a ground-breaking artificial intelligence helped discover a new planet. nasa researchers used advance machine learning technology from google to find the planet thousands of light years away called kepler 90-i. it's in the solar system similar to ours. michelle miller explains how the new technology could impact the search for alien life and other inhabitable planets. >> reporter: this is super exciting for us space geeks because nasa researchers have known about this faraway solar system for some time but it's how the discovery of this new planet was made that has the scientific community very optimistic. in the never ending search for life beyond planet earth, nasa scientists have uncovered the

only other eight planet solar system they know of that circles a sun. with help from google and their machine learning computer software, scientists analyzed thousands of data points captured from this nasa planet hunting space telescope, the kepler. that data helped researchers discover this new planet, kepler 90-i. >> having all this data coming from kepler for scientists is like trying to drink from a fire hose. >> reporter: this astronomer says it's the way the new planet was discovered that has scientists buzzing and makes their jobs easier. >> the google ai system has been able to search through that pile of information much faster than humans have been able to dig through it. if you think about the analogy of the number of stars in the galaxy being like the number of sand grains on a beach, it's as if we've been asked to search through all the sand grains on the beach to find just the red sand grains. >> reporter: like earth, kepler

90-i is the third planet from its sun in an eight-planet system. but unlike earth. >> the temperature on the surface of this planet is about 800 degrees fahrenheit, which is far too hot for the possibility development of life as we know it. it's about 2,500 light years away. that means even traveling at the speed of light, it would take us 2,500 years just to get there. >> reporter: yes. current rocket technology can't quite, you know, move in that direction. and it would take millions of years just to reach kepler 90-i. the new planet also orbits the star about every 14 days which means you'd have a birthday just about every two weeks which i don't have a problem with. would you? >> i think i'm going to stay right here. >> you're saying there's a chance, right? >> well, you know, there are other possibilities of hiding planets in that system. so you never know. they just found this one. >> but 800 degrees, that's a lot

of sunscreen you got to wear. >> i didn't know you were a science geek. i'm still thinking about that. thank you very much. one of the largest companies in the u.s. get off easy in a major opoid case? >> this is the best case we've ever had against a major distributor in the history of the drug enforcement administration. >> ahead, we'll hear from a former dea insider and preview a new joint investigation from 60

first time to 60 minutes. he says the settle meant against drug distributor was too lenient. here's a preview of the 60 minutes report. >> this is the best case we've ever had against a major distributor in the history of the drug enforcement administration. how do we not go after the number one organization? in the height of the epidemic? when people are dying everywhere. doesn't somebody have to be held accountable. >> reporter: holding them accountable meant going after the fifth largest corporation in the country. headquartered in san francisco, mckesson has 76,000 employees and earns almost $200 billion a year in revenues. about the same as exxon mobil. since the 1990s, mckesson has made billions from the distribution of addictive opioids. before he retired in august, schiller had supervised investigations in drug trafficking and money laundering

cases. but he considered the case against mckesson to be the single most important investigation of his lifetime. >> what did they do that was wrong? >> the issue with mckesson was they were providing millions and millions and millions of pills to countless pharmacies throughout the united states and they did not maintain any sort of due diligence. this wasn't just happening in denver, colorado, this was happening in los angeles, california. it was happening in detroit michigan. it was happening in new york city. it was a national problem and nobody wanted to deal with it. >> we're joined now by bill whitaker and "the washington post" health reporter benny bernstein back again at the table. your first report was jaw dropping for a lot of people who were not aware and saw what you revealed for the very first time. now you're back saying about dea and mckesson together. what is the accusation this time? >> well, the dea requires that drug distributors like mckesson report what they call suspicious orders. these are orders that are

unusually large or of unusual frequency. and back in 2008, mckesson paid a -- more than $13 million in a settlement because the dea says that they were sending huge numbers of suspicious orders around the country. shortly after they signed that settlement, dea investigators saw mckesson doing pretty much the same thing. sending thousands and thousands and thousands of suspicious orders around the country. and they said that since this was the second time that they found the company doing it, they wanted to come down hard on them. they wanted to use them as an example to rest of the industry. they wanted to come down hard but the attorneys in washington, the dea attorneys in washington, they werelenient. that's what our story's about. >> why were they more lenient? where was the gap there? >> if you watch cop shows you

know the investigators are always aggressive and the attorneys are always a little bit more cautious. the attorneys have to evaluate what can we prove what can we actually win in court. and there is a very large divide between those two sides in this case. what we didn't realize when the negotiated settlement was announced in january was how big the gap was, how egregious the conduct of mckesson was and why the investigators thought this was worth so much larger of a punishment. >> did the laws have a specific problem? was it a motivation from mckesson? it could have been sloppy behavior, not intent. >> intent is always difficult to prove in court. that's always a stumbling block. what the investigators said and you'll see on sunday is we had intent. they knew what they were doing in a couple of cases. we can prove it. the lawyers disagreed. >> it sounds like some of the politicians felt like they were deeped by this law, including joe manchin from west virginia,

a state that has a huge opoid crisis. >> that's what we found. we went down to washington and we were talking to senators there. they were saying that -- for the law that we did the first piece about, that the dea said sort of tied their hands when it came to going after these companies. the lawmakers -- it was only a three-page law. many of them said they didn't know what was in it. >> what was mckesson's response to your investigation? >> we tried to get someone from mckesson to talk to us on camera. they declined. but we spoke to the lead attorney many times through the course of this. and he basically told us that the company and the dea lawyers all agreed that it was fruitless to look back and go back over alleged wrongdoingings. excuse me. that what he wanted to do from

now on was look forward. and going forward, the company said that it would no longer behave like this. and the dea now has independent monitor in place to watch the company and make sure that they behave. >> all right, bill whitaker, thanks so much. and you can see the full investigation of the dea's biggest case sunday night on 60 minutes right here on cbs. airports have x-ray machines and metal detectors but how do you stop a suicide bomber from targeting trains? a new technology being tested coast to coast. you're watching cbs this morning. technology that's working coast to coast. you're watching "cbs this morning."

new tsa security screening technology's being tested today just before what's expected to be a record breaking holiday travel season. the scanning system is designed to spot hidden explosives and suicide vests similar to the one used in monday's botched terror attack in a pedestrian tunnel

little closer scrutiny. >> reporter: a lex wiggins is the head of security for l.a.'s transit authority. >> if we can encounter that person as they enter mezzanine,n that threat much better. >> reporter: it is being tested where four of the region's commuter lines connect. more than 86,000 passengers move through here each weekday. the scanners are designed to operate in the background, scanning people walking by in real time without using radiation. >> there's no silver bullet, no technical silver bullet to prevent all acts of terrorism, but clearly as part of a layered defense, it can play a role in at least making it harder for the bad guys. >> tosa is hopeful new technoloy will lead to better detection. this scanner is currently being tested at a tsa facility outside washington, d.c. the goal is eventually to be able to scan people as they pass

by. so what you want is a scan wear people can just keep walking? >> can just keep walking and they don't even really notice they're being screened while they're doing it. >> reporter: the tsa says amtrak used the scanners here at union station during the busy thanksgiving holiday travel season. we know new jersey transit also tried out the scanners. the tsa says more testing will be needed. john. >> chris van cleave, thanks. up next, the other headlines, including a new york woman who reportedly used a bit con scam

get gift baskets, what you want when you're the person. >> the president saying that roy moore should concede, but he did sound like optimistic that congress would pass tax reform. >> not only did president putin mention those booming financial markets, he gave credit for them directly to president donald trump. >> states are threatening lawsuits after the federal communications commission removed net neutrality rules on internet providers. >> there are other possibilities of hiding planets in that system. so you never know. they just found this one. >> but 800 degrees, that's a lot of sunscreen you got to wear to block that out. >> have you ever made a shot like this before, norman? >> all the time. >> a half-court shot gets you 10 grand at the hawks game. >> look at this heat. >> a little sidewinder. >> oh! oh, man! he got the money! ♪ so how long has he been practicing that shot? >> that was a money shot is what

it was. >> looked like he was hauling a medicine ball out of his back pocket there. >> nicely done. i'm gayle king with john dickerson and bianna golodryga. they may have to change the tax reform bill again. marco rubio says he cannot vote for it because the child tax credit is too small. >> republicans can only afford to lose two votes in the senator. rubio and senator mike lee who was undecided want the refundable tax credit increased to more than $1,100. >> senators voted for a $2,000 credit but it was cut back in negotiations with house republicans. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. at the same time republican leaders are trying to make that child tax credit more yen rugen other lawmakers are saying the bill is already too expensive. tennessee's bob corker voted no

once before and could vote no again because he believes that there's going to be a very heavy load on the debt if this bill gets passed. then there are two other republican senators, arizona's john mccain and mississippi's thad cochran who are ill and missed votes all week. a spokesperson for cochran says the senator is available for votes as needed, but mccain, who is battling brain cancer, is in the hospital and no one seems to know exactly when he might return. as it stands right now, republicans have a 52 to 48 majority in senate, meaning they can only afford to lose two gop votes. in yan thjanuary that margin dr 51-49, which amplifies the pressure on them to get it done quickly. in fact, vice president mike pence was slated to visit jerusalem next week. he has delayed that trip so he can be here to cast a tie-breaking vote if needed. >> nancy, big story yesterday and last night.

reports that house speaker paul ryan thinking about retiring after 2018. so what are you hearing about that rumor and his future on capitol hill? >> reporter: well, he says he's not going anywhere any time soon, but like any leader he will probably take stock after the 2018 midterm elections. is his party still in control of the house? what's his relationship like with the very conservative freedom caucus he sometimes tangles with. what is his relationship like with president trump? right now it is pretty good. in fact, the president told ryan yesterday that if these reports are true he will be very unhappy, but we're told that ryan assured the president it that he isn't going anywhere. >> and if he's unhappy, would you know it if president trump was unhappy? would you know? >> reporter: we might get a tweet or two. >> a tweet or two. >> you're unhappy and you know it, go to twitter. nancy, thanks. bob woodward, associate editor of "the washington post" joins us. he and carl bernstein led the

paper's coverage of the watergate scandal that led with president nixon's resignation. bob, good morning. >> good morning. >> when you look at this last-minute negotiation over the tax bill, does it look familiar to legislation you've seen before, the last-minute negotiations? >> well, this is exactly the way not to do tax reform. i remember in the '70s when i started reporting lawyers said the tax code was about that big on the shelf. it is now this big. you can't go add it in -- in this way, and it would make so much sense now for everyone to just say, let's wait until after christmas. let's let people see what this is. it is an important issue. it affects everyone, but, you know, we're in the era of impatience and speed and political promises. so it looks like something might

happen. we'll see. >> well, you know, talk about waiting until after christmas, bob, the democrats are saying they want to delay the vote until after senator doug jones, senator-elect doug yoejones is seated in january. do you see any chance of that happening? >> that's unlikely. there's a momentum to this. president trump has made it very clear he doesn't want to end the year without some success, some accomplishment. but, you know, this is -- if you go back to the beginning of the obama presidency when they rammed through obamacare and really have been paying for it since because i remember talking last year with trump about this, when he was a candidate, that all successful politics is coalition building. you've got to include some of the other side. trump said, oh, absolutely, i

know that, but we're not seeing it practiced by both sides. too bad. >> bob, let me move on to the russia investigation, especially following up on that stunning "washington post" report about trump's advisers having to tiptoe around the russia issue any time it comes up. there are some who think that he's trying to discredit bob mueller and some around him are trying to discredit bob mueller in hopes of one day firing him. what's the likelihood that you think that will happen? >> well, you know, the future is veiled on this. obviously there's tension, but if trump is correct, he thinks there's no collusion and nothing here, he should welcome a full investigation. that "post" story showed that he just does not agree with the overwhelming conclusion of the intelligence community. so, again, this is something we're going to have to wait and see about, but, you know, that is not the emotional culture

we're living in, wait and see. it is, let's do it, let's have a fight, let's have a political skirmish. >> bob, you have covered a lot of nation wial security systems within different administrations. you know about the coordination that's required, the dance steps that have to be careful to make good policy. with that context and that knowledge, assess that reporting about what is done in the national security apparatus around the president with respect to russia and what that means for just making good decisions. >> well, you know, that's kind of a side issue. i'm doing a book on trump for next year and trying to look at the big picture and some of the components, and the good news is in the first year of the trump administration we've not had a major escalation of a war or a new war. as you get into the weeds on this where i have some time to do that, there is a rather long and serious debate on lots of

these issues like the middle east, how to deal with china, north korea. so it is not all bad news. but this tension on russia needs to be settled. >> all right. bob woodward, thanks. sunday on "face the nation" we will talk with senators james langford and bernie sanders about taxes and the alabama senate race. we will see you sunday here on cbs. >> of course we'll be watching that, too. you have a long week, john. man never takes a break 2018 could be ary of big health breakthroughs from editing dna to curing diseases to better vaccines. dr. david agus, a man who doesn't take a break, is in our toyota green room with cutti

exciting. >> universal means once it's over? >> once and a booster maybe a decade down the road but not a yearly shot. that's the dream. >> we've been hearing ta ining promise of gene therapy for years. does it come into fruition in 2018? >> last year they went into a fetus and they changed and took away a heart disease. now we're going to see clinical trials across the board in diseases with this technology to edit dna. a spell-checker. you can imagine in the future a child not being born again with a genetic disease. >> as we know from spell-checker, sometimes autocorrect can say thing you don't mean. with crisper, who is monitoring how they -- so they don't go too far in editing genes? >> do you want to tell us something about what happened with autocorrect? you hit an important point, which is i'm not sure who regulates this, and if we regulate it here, someone will

♪ weekend's almost here. hold on a little longer. welcome back to "cbs this morning." >> a recent report says cyber crime is now costing the world trillions of dollars every year. the u.s. has seen a number of massive cyberattacks in 2017. uber, verizon, anthem, microsoft, xbox and google were hacked. the "wannacry" attack locked people in nearly every country out of their data and forced some users to pay a ransom. the equifax hack exposed the data of more than 145 million americans. with us to look at the biggest threats we'll face in 2018 is

ceo. it was quite frightening to recall the list of attacks this year. >> never a dull day in cybersecurity. it is a fascinating space and every day something happens. >> it happens. >> i tell you, working at symantec is an honor. we should get movie rights. >> a lot are distracting and time inefficient, but when you look at the "wannacry," that impacted hospitals and people's lives were at risk. can we expect more of that this year? >> i would say extortion and ransom are here to stay. we have seen hackers investing in tools for other hackers to build ransomware, extortion malware that can be widely deployed. when you see something like "wannacry" which was a worm with exponential expansion capabilities can get everywhere

fast. when you see something like this, it is a crisis and something to be careful with. i tell you what, the extortion and ransoms and things like that are here to stay. people are making money and they're enabled. >> you think it is going to get worse for us, and what should we did as individuals to protect ourselves? i think most people think about companies, but individuals need to worry about it, too. >> i think the cyber crime problem, cyber defense problem splits into two areas like you mentioned, gayle. there's a corporate side, a government side with extreme care and then there's a consumer side, which is where all of us, normal citizen, need to take responsibility for some things to take care of our digital safety, our cyber safety. there are simple things that we should do. >> like? >> all of us, we should try to get a multi-factor authentication, more than just a user name password. many of the banks and financial institutions will call you back and say, hey, greg, is this you. that's really important. i think also taking care of, taking responsibility for your identity in cyber space is an

extremely important thing. what this means is, you know, this isn't just about credit cards. people can get driver's license, apply for a second mortgage, they can apply for a rt wmortgan your kid's name. so people steal identity information to manufacture. >> how do we know it is happening and what are we supposed to do about it? >> there are services you can get. we make one called life lock, and what happens is you get a call-back that says, hey, are you leasing this corvette in sacramento right now? if you say no, it is not me, that causes a bunch of things to happen that really try to take care of your identity. i think these are important things. you know, the responsibility of the identity of yourself, your family, your loved ones is extremely important. we call this digital safety. we think it is kind of a new category that consumers need to step up to. >> some people know to be careful when they're at a keyboard. but what about when they have a virtual tv or one of these personal assistants that's

always listening. what should we think about those? >> i think every time you have a piece of internet-enabled consumer electronics, that means it water to get on to wi-fi, it wants to talk to your ipad, your android, your iphone and you control it from there, it can be a toy, a camera, a doorbell, all have computers in them with vulnerabilities. over time criminals understand what those vulnerabilities are and can put their own software in your home consumer electronics. this is, you know, the internet had a problem this time last year, the thing we call the dine attack which stopped things like netflix and other things. it was executed by consumer electronics with bad software in it. >> but to john's point, what do you have that? >> you should put in some technology that helps clean up all of the neighborhood around known bad inside those houses, inside your house and known good. we recently launched a product

called a norton core router that is a home wi-fi router in your house. it watches consumer electronics and it knows what normal is. when it sees a deviation from normal it it will do things like take it off line or let you know it has a problem. we think that the consumer should take responsibility for the safety of the network inside your house. it is a place of criminal activity. there are technologies that can help clean it up. we think that this will become more and more of a problem. you know, we recently launched this product and the telemetry, the information we get about what is happening inside the house is -- is, you know, fascinating. there is a lot of electronics in there. many devices per home, and a lot is compromised. >> like you said, a big problem for consumers, for companies and governments around the world as well. >> exactly. >> greg, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> happy holidays. >> happy holidays.
