they'll run it through a device... so, this is how easy it is to skim this card. sorry about that. ...and then that device is gonna record everything that was on your card. they can then use that information to go out and shop online or even make their own credit cards to make purchases in the next store they go to. i do these scams to show people what's going on out there. criminals are continually finding new ways to rip people off. >> it's something that's out of my control. i can't protect my identity all the time with everything that i do. bad people are gonna get your information whether you want them to or not. i have really a teammate in lifelock knowing that they're keeping an eye out for things, things that i couldn't do myself, and having them on my side, and it really is that [sighs] i can just relax and take one worry off my plate. >> the technology behind cyber crime is extensive, but what about lifelock's technology to protect you? well, dr. stephen coggeshall, lifelock's chief analytics and
3:09 am
science officer, is here to explain how lifelock's proprietary technology is helping fight identity fraud. dr. coggeshall, thanks for being here. >> my pleasure. >> tell me about lifelock's proprietary technology. >> well, we do a variety of things. and what we do is really cool. we go to our more than a trillion data elements in our data bank. we'll look at all the other things it's connected to in the world, all the other applications we see, we look at what's going on at the address, has anybody else used that social security number, is there something strange about that e-mail? and we gather all that information together and put it through some pretty complicated mathematical formulas, and we come up with a probability score, the likelihood that that's a fraud attempt. >> and then you alert me as a lifelock customer if you see something out of the ordinary? >> that's correct. if a member gets an alert, they have the opportunity to say, "oh, yeah, that's me." but if it's not them, if they're sitting home watching tv and they get one of these alerts, they can press a button and contact lifelock, and we start the process of shutting that fraud attempt down. lifelock started from the very beginning specifically to protect our members from
3:10 am
identity fraud. that's our reason for existence. >> my cellphone goes off at just past 6:00 a.m. and it's a text alert from lifelock. someone attempted to use my name and social security number to open a credit card. they filled out an application online with a $10,000 limit. lifelock caught it, notified me, and we were able to stop that credit card from ever being issued because we caught it early enough in the processing phase. >> when your identity's been stolen, you want a knowledgeable, trusted friend on your side to get you out of the mess, and this is the big difference between monitoring your own credit and lifelock. a lifelock membership means you have a whole team of identity-protection agents ready to watch for threats to your identity, to answer your questions, and to help resolve identity-theft problems. lifelock members like me get a dedicated agent based right here in the u.s. to help resolve any threats to your identity. meet identity-protection agents daniel, pua, and sarah. they're part of a team of agents
3:11 am
who address identity threats and help lifelock members if an identity theft occurs. what happens when a member gets an alert? i mean, when do you get involved, and how does that work? >> once our members notify us that it was not them, that they believe it's identity theft, is when we get started. then you'll speak to somebody like me, and i'll call you and i'll assist you through the whole process. >> we know who to call, what documents are needed, and we get it done much quicker than a member ever could on their own. >> i know the questions to ask, i know the people to talk to, i know the numbers to call, and i can make it just so much easier for you. and i'm also willing to stay on hold for you if you need. >> wait a minute. say that again? >> yeah, i'm willing to stay on hold as long as it takes on your behalf if necessary. >> 'cause that is the worst part -- staying on hold. >> it is. [ chuckles ] but i'm happy to do it. >> you're happy to do it? >> yes. i am. >> now, sarah, i know that you are a veteran. you, i assume, work with a lot of veterans and people in the armed services. >> i do. up until a couple years ago, social security number was on identification cards. it's sad that people fighting
3:12 am
for our country have to worry about that, but we are more than happy to help and see them through it, to carry the burden, and that way they can focus on the mission, and that's why i love what we do. >> and when you go home, sarah, at the end of the day, what makes you say, "that was a good day"? >> i love when i close a case. i love it. and every time i close one and i can't wait to call my member, it really is just gratifying knowing that taking the burden and helping them through the process and being able to make that phone call, "hey, your case is closed" is priceless. i love it. >> what's impressed me most about lifelock is they're also gonna be there to help you afterwards if something happens. the credit monitoring agencies, they're just gonna go, "no, you had an issue. it's on you." whereas lifelock says, "let us help you." >> every single time the lifelock agent, if we've had to stay on the phone too long with the other company, the agent
3:13 am
will always say, "let me take this, angela. i'll call you back when i get them back." and i just feel like they respected my time and me. >> they know everything that there's no way i could know. i don't have to think about, "how do i fix this?" i turn it over to lifelock, and they'll help me. >> announcer: identity theft is the fastest growing crime in america. are you at risk? you could be if you bank or shop online, have health insurance or fill out medical forms, if you have a smartphone or use public wi-fi, even if you file your taxes online. no matter how careful you are, your social security number and your other personal information is out there out of your control. just detecting the problem is not enough. how do you resolve an issue if you have one? >> i signed up for lifelock. we have someone in our corner to help fight that fight. >> announcer: a lifelock membership means you have a whole team of lifelock identity-protection agents ready to answer your questions, help resolve identity-theft problems, and to keep watch for threats to

3:17 am
the ding, knowing there's an alert. lifelock makes me feel safe knowing someone is concerned about my future and that of my children. >> you know, jeff, last time i was part of a data breach, i got this letter, and they offered me identity-theft protection. i mean, what do you think about that from the company that just got breached? >> well, by the time you got the letter, it's already days or weeks have gone by since the company even realized it happened, and they don't usually realize it's happened until well after the breach has occurred. so the point is, it's too late. i mean, you've already had your information out there. it could already be a big problem. the point of identity-theft protection is being proactive. that's what lifelock does. it helps you figure out if someone's trying to steal your identity, and then if it does happen, they help to resolve it. >> i went to the doctor, and they told me -- i got a letter that there was a breach and that my information may have been compromised. i was very relieved that i had already signed up for lifelock. >> so, here's one scam that criminals will do.
3:18 am
they'll buy an 800 phone number, which will actually forward to their cellphone, and then they'll call up and leave a voicemail to you telling you there's a problem with your banking account. they'll leave that 800 number in hopes that you'll call them back. so you should have received a security i.d. when you got your voicemail. so, once they answer the phone, the first thing they're gonna want to do is they're gonna want to verify that you are who you say you are. for security purposes, i just need to verify your social security number. people are very used to that, so they'll say, "sure, my social security number is" whatever it is, and just like that, they have that before people even have a chance to think, "maybe i shouldn't have given that out." yeah, no problem at all. you have a great day. thank you. bye-bye. and just like that, we have her social security number. >> protecting your identity is a smart financial move. personal finance expert, best-selling author, and journalist lynnette khalfani-cox helps her clients with their financial portfolios. here's what she had to say about identity-theft protection. >> you might be doing a lot of things right. you might be saving, planning for the future, investing. all of those things are great.
3:19 am
but if you haven't taken time to protect yourself against the risks that are out there, the very real risk of identity theft, then you haven't really secured your family's finances in a way that's smart. identity theft is a threat to your financial well-being because it not only affects your credit rating and impacts your ability to get loans, it could also hamper you in everyday life, and doing things like renting an apartment, getting a mortgage, or even getting a job that you might need. the people who get financial help for any aspect of their lives, whether it's taxes, whether it's managing credit card debt, whether it's planning for retirement, they actually tend to do a lot better in reaching their goals, and likewise, the people who have expert help to deal with the problem of identity theft, those folks also fare so much better because they have a team of experts who know the groundwork, who know what to do in a way that the typical person just doesn't know. lifelock helps alert you about potential identity-theft
3:20 am
problems, and that early alert is crucial because you can take action and do something immediately to prevent the problem from getting worse. >> i've been a lifelock member now since 2008, and i can't imagine being without lifelock any more than i can imagine racing down a highway without a seatbelt. i mean, if somebody breaks into your house, you can get a new lock. if your car is stolen, you can get a new car. but you only have one identity. you're not gonna be able to replace it. so protect it with the best. >> when your identity is stolen, you just feel so violated and just so helpless. but knowing that you have lifelock, it just -- you have this whole team of people on your side, and you know that you don't have to go it alone. >> we feel protected, and we feel like there's almost like a blanket of security around us. >> it's just really great to know that they are there and we can call on them whenever we need it. >> i would compare lifelock to having that big older brother
3:21 am
walking side by side with you on the first day of school so that everyone knows "don't mess with him." >> choosing lifelock to protect our identity was one of the best decisions we've ever made. >> this is financial protection that you can't afford not to have. it's kind of like the people who say to me, "uh, i'm too cash-strapped and i can't afford to save." i say, "you can't affordnotto save." likewise, you can't afford not to protect your credit health and your identity. >> the value of lifelock to me -- it's priceless. what's the value of your credit? what's the value of your family's credit? >> i've been attacked seven times since 2011. and each time, lifelock was there to help me. i'm gonna be a lifelock member for life. >> what is more important than making sure the only you out there is you? >> announcer: identity theft is the fastest growing crime in america. are you at risk? you could be if you bank or shop
3:22 am
online, have health insurance or fill out medical forms, if you have a smartphone or use public wi-fi, even if you file your taxes online. no matter how careful you are, your social security number and your other personal information is out there out of your control. just detecting the problem is not enough. how do you resolve an issue if you have one? >> i signed up for lifelock. we have someone in our corner to help fight that fight. >> announcer: a lifelock membership means you have a whole team of lifelock identity-protection agents ready to answer your questions, help resolve identity-theft problems, and to keep watch for threats to your identity by monitoring more than a trillion data points a day. that's why millions of people have become members of lifelock. it's the best identity-theft protection available. the minute you become a lifelock member, you have exclusive members-only protection services, including 24/7 access to u.s.-based identity-protection agents, real people with experience and identity-protection knowledge to

today as americans we grieve the brutal murder, a horrific massacre of dozens of innocent people. we pray for their families who are grasping for answers with broken hearts. we stand with the people of orlando who have endured a terrible attack on their city. although it is still early in the investigation, we know enough to say that this was an act of terror and an act of hate. as americans we are united in grief, in outrage and in resolve to defend our people. i have directed that the full resources of the federal government be made available for this investigation.
3:28 am
we are still learning all of the facts. this is an open investigation. we have reached no definitive judgment on the precise motivations of the killer. the fbi is appropriately investigating this as an act of terrorism. and i have directed that we must spare no effort to determine what if any inspiration or association this killer may have had with terrorist groups. what is clear is that he was a person filled with hatred. over the coming days we will uncover how and why this happened and we will go wherever the facts lead us. this morning i spoke with my good friend orlando mayor buddy dyer. and i conveyed to him the deepest condolences of the american people. this could have been any one of our communities. so i told mayor dyer that whatever help he and the people of orlando need they're going to get it. as a country, we will be there for the people of orlando today, tomorrow and for all of the days to come. >> back now from orlando,
3:29 am
florida. families here are going through an agonizing wait. only a very few of the 50 people known to have been killed have been identified so far. more than 50 others are in the hospital. many of them are in critical condition after surgery. omar mateen, the gunman who opened fire in pulse, a gay nightclub was american, born to afghan parents. he was killed in the shootout with police. he called 911 during the attack, and pledged his loyalty to isis. though it is not at all clear at this point whether he had any direct contact with the group. that's the "cbs overnight news" from orlando, florida, on this monday. for many of you, the news continues. for others, be sure to stay tuned for the "morning news" and
3:30 am
"cbs this morning." also live from orlando. for the "cbs overnight news," i'm scott pelley. massacre in orlando. >> oh, my god. people are getting shot. >> this was an act of terror. and an act of hate. >> a gunman opens fire in a gay nightclub. >> they were like dragging bodies. people that were wounded. just to get them out of the way. >> at least 50 are skilled in the deadliest mass shooting in u.s. history. many more are wounded. >> but i don't know where my son is. no one can tell me where my son is. if he has been shot. if he is dead. no one knows. >> isis claims responsibility. >> the individual has been identified as omar mir siddiqui mateen. >> we need to support each other. we need to love each other.
3:31 am
and we will not be defined by a hateful shooter. we will be defined how we support and love each other. >> this is the "cbs overnight news." >> if you are just joining us, we have the latest now on this mass shooting in orlando, florida. a massacre in a gay nightclub that occurred in the early hours this morning. and is now the worst mass shooting in american history. at least 50 people were killed. most of their bodies are still inside the club. the shooting began after 2:00 this morning. the gunman, omar mateen, was an american. he was a security guard who had pledged his loyalty to isis. during a 911 call during his attack on the club. he was killed in a shootout with police.
3:32 am
there were 300 people in the club sipping their last drinks before the club closed. with more on that we have mark strassmann. >> 15 minutes after last call, bartender tiffany johnson heard something ominous. was that a gunshot? >> thought it was the stereo. the music. after the second shot there was a pause. it started shooting, shooting, shooting, shooting. >> reporter: then bedlam. partiers hit the deck. others hid under tables or ran into bathrooms. roughly 300 people were trapped inside. one in six would die. this man has three friends missing. >> people are screaming, help me, help me. i am trapped. people are getting trampled. there was no clear exit sign at the club. so we didn't know which door
3:33 am
to take or where to go. >> you heard a couple shots. did you hit the deck right away? >> it was like a -- kind of look a little, like, oh. >> josh mcgill ran out the back exit. hopped a fence and saved a life. he found a man lying on the ground. moaning. did he look wounded? >> he looked like he got shot. but didn't realize he got shot. 27-year-old rodney sumter was wounded in both arms and the upper back. >> the officer is like there is no ambulance responding at the moment. we are going to send you and, you and a police car. so the police officer turned to me and said, i want you to bear hug him, keep him conscious. i was like okay. i don't know if you are religious, i feel like i need to say a prayer. you will be fine. i got you, man. >> reporter: mcgill told me he has yet to process how lucky he is to be alive. he has also yet to reach sumter in the hospital. scott he was told there the man
3:34 am
he helped rescue is expected to live. >> mark strassmann. thank you so much, mark. our homeland security correspndent jeff pegues talking to his sources all day long. he is joining us now. jeff, what do you know? >> scott, we are learning a lot more about the 911 call mentioned. the one that omar mateen made during that mass shooting. it was the one where e pledged allegiance to isis. according to a u.s. intelligence source, the call came from a bathroom at the night club. and at some point 911 had to actually call him back. we don't know why. whether the call was dropped. 911 dispatchers actually called him back. at that point we're told he made this pledge to isis. and also made a reference to the tsaranev brothers and the boston bombing. so that, scott, is some of the new information we just learned. >> jeff, we understand that mateen had been contacted by the fbi more than once, what do you
3:35 am
know about that? >> there were at least two contacts. in 2013 and 2014. in 2013. there were statements he made to co-workers according to law enforcement sources that stated some sort of connection to the tsaranev brothers that carried out the boston bombing. in 2014, another alleged contact. the fbi investigated suggesting a linkto a suicide bomber, he blew himself up in syria. so there were indications that mateen had had some sort of contact with him. both men were from the fort pierce area of florida. but ultimately, the fbi decided that there wasn't enough there to pursue a full-fledged investigation. what investigators are looking at now whether there are any direct contacts to operatives overseas in connect, with the nightclub attack. scott. >> jeff pegues in the washington
3:36 am
newsroom. thank you very much. all day long around main your hospitals in orlando, a vigil of families not able to contact their loved ones and waiting outside the hospitals with the hope that they will learn at some point that their missing loved ones is in the hospital. and has survived. our correspondent jamie yuccas has more. >> 24-year-old jose martinez went to pulse nightclub to kick off pride week. his cell phone died. the family didn't know what happened to him. >> he works six days a week. >> reporter: 15 hours later they learned martinez is in critical condition. a couple. michael is in the hospital. no one has heard from martin. >> hoping he is okay. just trying to comfort.

3:38 am
>> jamie yuccas reporting
3:39 am
3:40 am
we have the mayor of orlando, buddy dyer with us. mr. mayor, what is the latest from the hospitals as you understand it? when would the families begin to learn about their loved ones? >> well the hospital -- let's step back. we were able to get hipa regulations waived for this to be able to notify some of the family. >> patients' privacy regulations. >> so the hospital has notified the families of patients that they are caring for. okay. so if you weren't one of the families that has somebody that is in surgery or being cared
3:41 am
for, you probably have an idea that your family member is unfortunately in the other group. we hope to identify all of the victims this evening. it has been a very painstaking process because 40 of the victims were in the nightclub. a scene that the fbi had to close for evidentiary purposes. they're working on, victim by victim the we have a website whereas we identify victims and notify next of kin we can go ahead and list them. it's got to be just a horrible thing for a family to, to kind of know, but not really know what has happened. when i got the call this morning at 3:00, first thing i did was call my 26-year-old son? where are you? he was in bed thankfully. are the bodies inside the club, all 50? >> they are not. some are. but they started the process of relocating them to the medical director for identification. >> you expect all of the body to be removed to the coroner's office by what time?
3:42 am
>> i would hope by late this evening. no later than in the morning. >> what more do we know about the gunman? >> whatever the fbi has detailed. i have not been focused, quite honestly on his identity and specifics. i am more focused on taking care of the families and the friends of the victims. and doing what we can to rally the people in orlando. we are not going to be defined by that individual. we are going to be defined by how we respond and lift up those in need. >> your police department put an end to this fairly quickly? >> i'm so proud of the men and women of opd. you mentioned over 300 individuals in the club. it could have been worse. our first officer that engaged the gunman probably allowed a lot of people to get out the back. and then, about, 5:00 we were able to breach a wall and rescue between 15 and of 20 the
3:43 am
hostages. that's when we engaged the gunman and took him down. >> there were reports earlier this morning that as many as 20 people had been killed. then you came out and told the nation that the number was 50. when the police officers told you that -- >> it was horrible to find that out. we had an estimate from the police officer that had originally engaged with the shooter. we couldn't go back in because we thought that there were explosive devices so until the building had been cleared, bomb robot went in. we couldn't go back in and specifically identify it. then it was shocking how many were actually in there. >> were there any explosive devices? >> there were not. although there had been text messages about the shooter outfitting hostages with explosive vests. that turned out not to be true. and, when he was killed, there was a battery back that was right next to him and a bag. we thought there was probably an explosive device with detonator. turned out the battery pack came from some where else, don't know a smoke alarm or what. fortunately that turned out not to be the case.
3:44 am
>> the gunman had no explosives? >> to the best of my knowledge at this point. he did not. >> mr. mayor, the whole nation has you in its heart and i appreciate you taking the time to speak with us. >> thank you. pray for our citizens. >> we will. thank you, sir. >> the president also asked america to pray today. he asked the citizens of the united states to pray for the victims to pray for the families and to help the families bear what the president described as the unbearable. juliana goldman has more on this. >> reporter: at the white house and government buildings today flags were lowered to half staff on order from president obama who declared it an act of terror and hate. >> this is a sobering reminder that attacks on any american regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation, is an attack on all of us. and no act of hate or terror will ever change who we are or
3:45 am
the values that make us americans. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: the worst mass shooting in u.s. history ignited heated political debates over terrorism and gun control. presumptive republican nominee donald trump reiterated his call to ban muslims from entering the u.s. though omar mateen was born in new york. in a statement, trump criticized the president saying "he disgracefully refused to say the word radical islam." for that reason alone he should step down. if hillary clinton after this attack still cannot say the two word, radical islam, she should get out of this race for the presidency. neither obama nor clinton were ready to link the attack to islamic extremism. in her statement, clinton said we need to redouble our efforts to defend our country from threats at home and abroad and told the lgbt community we will fight your your right to live
3:46 am
freely openly and without fear. republican senator jeff flake said in this case there doesn't need to be an either or with terrorism or guns. >> i think the debate can and should go on as well as the the debate on how to best protect us against those who are inspired or funded or directed by international terrorists. >> reporter: the administration appears to be putting politics on hold, scott. the white house announced president obama will not be campaigning with hillary clinton this coming week. vice president joe biden canceled an appearance at a miami fund raiser for tonight. >> reporting from washington for us tonight. thank you. so many people today in orlando wanted to donate blood, the blood banks had to turn many away. there is some controversy about that tonight. and david begnaud has more. >> i want to show you the people still here while it is raining. folks standing in line for more than 11 hours. when the call want out this
3:47 am
