equipped in accordance with strict paralympic standards but in the city itself with its aging infrastructure still a lot has to be done to comply sochi sidewalks shops and restaurants are also undergoing massive construction to comply with strict standards so that nowhere is off limits and even though competition such as ice lead hockey and alpine skiing will be held far from the city center thanks to the games in sochi will be more accessible for people with disabilities living in less than legacy of visitors alike russia's paralympic squad topped the overall standings at event coover two thousand and ten winter games with thirty eight medals twelve gold silver and sixteen bronze to put russia's paralympic champion. as he was preparing for the three week training in sochi. first of all we're proud that russia will be hosting the paralympics it's good when the games are being held at home. and it's

rampage in the capital of athens and called. sony pictures confirmed this week almost forty thousand users of victims of personal data loss made a cyber attack on the company's website the reston show has taken to the streets of new york to ask the public about the potential victims of. so many intend out even the f.b.i. it seems like no one is safe from hackers these days at these heroes or belittle this week let's talk about that. they are heroes because. everything they are they are. security systems so what if a robber

a bank robber is technically. proficient enough to get into a bank does that make him a hero to. the police department goes into certain things and the government goes into certain things probably i would put that on the same level as i would someone who goes in and hacks into a site they're not supposed to be on their heart which are five things kind of ideological point because we're just doing illegal activities. i think just to make. really to open the lens to things that should be i don't have that much of a problem is that it's so subjective though why are we entrusting thieves essentially making that kind of a judgment call. they use that's a strong word well they're going to take in people's an information good or bad for the good or bad if you're if you're going on in your taking a lot of credit card numbers and credit card accounts and doing that type of thing

and you're using that information again her private citizens. i don't think that's a good thing have you ever had your personal information had i actually you know and i felt. so violated in trying to control the information that it's just. it's an awful feeling oh i think it's going to get worse much worse because i have five daughters ranging from twenty three down to twelve years old and they're you know they don't think anything's ever going to happen to them and they're out there with all of it even though the warnings from here. they're the next generation so if you caught them putting stuff out there you're like don't put that out there this is still phone numbers yeah whether you think hackers are villains or heroes the bottom line is if you have information database someplace in fears about a potential target. but
