that a new deal but except would be a disaster for the uki a corner me would lead to food shortages would lead to fuel shortages would lead to a shortage of maybe sins including v.a. to cancer treatment medicines and could result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs so even those who believe in breaks and of good to see crissy i'm one of them i don't late with your opinion i think it's undemocratic to the core i would prefer a country that rate to past our own budgets was a interference from other on elec to commission us but i voted to leave that utopian union and the north belief ayesha and wife i deal not to just walk oh and leave the whole thing and a mess you see the rich and the per for would suffer any consequences from

other startups lack is also not doing so hot right now ticker w. or k. plunged 15 percent in after hours trading on wednesday following the company's 1st earnings report as a public company despite beats on both the top and bottom lines shares fell due to we. guidance and concerns over the company's ability to compete with microsoft's chap product. the honeymoon for i.p.o.'s on wall street may be over now as some of these highly anticipated unicorns have disappointed investors this year here's a list of some the biggest i.p.o.'s in 2019 notice how all of them are now currently trading well below their listing some of these spreads are huge with lifted trading more than 30 percent below their offering price when we are compiling this list there are only $2.00 green spots zoom and beyond meets all the rest were very disappointing with flag down down or almost made this list too as it is trust currently struggling to defend its offering at $21.00 today almost slipping into negative territory so not only is this disappointing this is very
8:45 pm
worrisome because it speaks to the overall sentiment and the risk averse climate that we're currently in the appetite just isn't there anymore and you can see that with weak company as they failed to drum up support and now has to discount themselves ahead of their road show next week so how many of these companies actually turned a profit none. last $25200000000.00 in the 2nd quarter lives lost $1100000000.00 slack lost * 140000000 last year 5 lost $36000000.00 zoom was the only company who had turned a profit at the time of its i.p.o. now 84 percent of u.s. tech companies that went public last year did so without turning a profit the last time companies went public at this kind of a rate was back in 2000 the year that the dotcom bubble burst so now in 2019 these companies are still riding high on venture capital money burning cash in the name
8:46 pm
of growth it is really concerning that these companies are all going public at a time when a recession is basically imminent when the actual new york fed recession probability is currently. at its highest level since 2009 this measure this gauge reached the 30 percent threshold every single time we had a recession ever since $960.00 and we are currently at $32.00 tech companies are obviously aware of this as their current at their very highly sensitive and correlated changes in the business cycle and any tightening of credit would be noticeable it would be a smart move for them to now exit at the top of the market and just dump shares we've talked a lot about the recession indicators across a variety of asset causes now and all of them are pointing to the same thing we've had the inversion of the curve in the fixed income market the currency crisis rippling across latin am an asian f.x. markets the absolute insanity of the current negative interest rate environment and
8:47 pm
how it's basically a black hole with no way out well here in the equities markets these i.p.o. names are the fresh meat the new blood the canaries in the coal mine for the economic prospects of other technology companies as well as the economy at large since we are increasingly dominated by tech and given its performance so far in 2019 the canaries look to be dead that should serve as another warning of what's to come so best of luck to where you work. and facebook has yet another security issue and this time it involves a compromise server containing hundreds of millions of phone numbers which had previously been tied to consider customer accounts facebook previously had a feature that allows users to look up other users based on their phone number no the server that was compromised does not belong to the social media giant but was also not password protected security researchers jane found the server and said it
8:48 pm
contained the records of 419000000 facebook users facebook however said it says the number was half of that according to the report in some cases they were able to find a user's name country and gender as well joining us now in the street it's just. on a whole host of topics cyber security expert and president bush are software chuck todd shipley todd good to have you here and you hear that so you know you're the expert so in terms of best practices how is it the company like facebook so huge can allow a vendor to have all this personal data that's no longer use on a server that is not password protected well sure i mean it's a huge problem for facebook and it's an ongoing issue that they've had for some time their desire originally to be open with their data and share things has caused a lot of problems for that company obviously cambridge analytical had data but this is a much larger data set than any of those and i think we're going to find that there's more data out there these at a point time there was
8:49 pm
a place where facebook was allowing everybody to get the phone numbers and other information about facebook users to do a.p.i. and i think there was a lot of probably access that was made and date data that was downloaded that we don't even know about because they've got billions of users now i think there's probably that many pieces of data that are out there that have been downloaded that we don't know exist yet and so we're going to find in the future not only this kind of you know data set but even larger data sets because facebook allowed it to occur so facebook has been under a lot of scrutiny for its various data breaches throughout history and this is just yet another example of it so now in the context of them trying to largely buy their cut the currency how can we expect to trust them with our wallet i've payment information our banking information when they just simply came in secure something as basic as your name and phone number get to keep in mind this was in a security issue for them they allowed people to come to get the data in cambridge analytic at the allowed them to come get the data this data was scraped because facebook was trying to share user information we don't like it we don't want them
8:50 pm
to do it but that was what they were doing early on now the suits change the problem is there's been this data collected for some time and like you said we don't know how much data is out that they've gotten. now going into their own cryptocurrency we'll have to see but that's a separate issue that they're going to secure and keep in mind cryptocurrency is a whole nother architecture we haven't don't know for sure exactly what they're going to do with it how their block chain is going to work but we can be assured if it's a community of interest with the cryptocurrency that there's going to be a little bit more security about it because the community of interest is going to sure that there's some security with it now taking a step back what responsibility do tech giants banks insurance providers and all these other companies have to do to protect user data are they doing and not or are they just trying to do the very bare minimum just to keep people's business well i think they're doing the bare minimum because you know in the united states we don't have any rules regarding this if this is the european union there'll be a whole set of other you know factors in play here in facebook was probably going
8:51 pm
to get in trouble in the european union for the data that they did get was released but in the u.s. we have only the breach laws where if they get the data stolen they have to report it but there's no rules that require them to keep the data and how long they can keep that data about us at all and there has been this recent wave of ransomware attacks hitting more than 50 cities and towns in the united states governments are losing access to all of their systems to run the government schools and libraries have been targeted as well as law enforcement some cities had went ahead and paid the ransom as it cost more to fix it cost less to pay the ransom than to fix the issue and pay up but now and now this week a new york school system had to delay the start of their school year because of the ransomware issue we heard from a previous expert that this was a an n.s.a. tool that sort of got out of the box. and hackers got ahold of it but is there a reason why they're deploying this weapon now we're seeing this ransomware spike
8:52 pm
this year well ransomware has been around for a long time the n.s.a. issue was one where the n.s.a. got hacked and some tools were taken from them whether this one specifically was them yet we don't know yet or their tools we don't know yet but the problem is. this is far more nefarious and a problem i think than facebook's data world deal with fact the data still and we've all had our data still on but this is government's been shut down think about this 22 agencies in texas alone were shut down last month all in one concerted effort in the difference here is these are not just drive by hacks these are concerted effort to find the weaknesses in these local governments and then go back in and shut them down so they break in stay there and then decide when they're going to make the attack and shut the agencies down like said last month 22 all in one you know shot so this is really i think a bigger threat because if you think we don't know who is behind these attacks and if you pay you pay if you don't you don't get your data back like atlanta happened last year but the problem is that being is if there is a concerted effort by
8:53 pm
a nation state to do this kind of thing we have a much bigger problem than we think they may be attacking small agencies just to try to figure out how to get into them and now they do something a much larger scale they can shut the country down so this latest actually just be another way of a terrorist attack basically with what you're so sure because we don't know who's behind it it could be terrorists it could be a nation state we don't know who is behind these attacks and they're gaining money where's the money going it's cryptocurrency so in theory you know the federal government is looking at that and they're trying to track where the cryptocurrency goes in trying to figure out where it ends up but still you know it's the hidden behind the mask of the pseudo anon the name of the anonymity of the could be hers and so we'll have to see where that goes but i think this is far more a concern that we've got to look at than what's happening with facebook's data so very quickly what can be done to protect these local governments if anything at all well i think one of the things that we have a national level have to take this stuff seriously and i don't know that we are
8:54 pm
taking it seriously yet that people understand this threat and we have to look at some broader understanding of how to apply security in these small agencies because most of them have limited funds and they don't have the ability to apply the kinds of. techniques in security measures that need to be applied it's obvious because they're getting attacked and so i think we have to take a bigger national effort at it and look at how we're going to in the future stop these attacks on the government shipley the c.e.o. very software thanks so much for your time thanks for let me be here. there is major news out of india regarding investment in the far east of russia indian prime minister narendra modi used the occasion of the 5th eastern economic forum in lot of small stock to announce a 1000000000 dollar line of credit for development in the far east regions mr modi framed the move as the latest element of his act east policy agenda and recalled
