equifax faces more than 30 lawsuits this morning over one of the greatest lawsuits in history. hackers stole the perm information about 143 million americans and that includes social security numbers addresses and even credit card data. the company fafaces mounting cr over how it handled the breach. in a statement afounsing the hack the company's ceo says we pride ourselves on protecting data and we're conducting a review over all security operations. melody is in san francisco. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> you talk about 14 million customers, almost half of the u.s. population, what can hackers do with this

>> very simply, steal your identify. they can go out and get credit cards rges loans, wreak havoc on your credit. this is a bad situation for equifax and for people in america and canada and the uk. >> how do you know if your information have been stolen? >> they've established a website and you can go to that website, type in your last name, the last six digits of your social security number but i would have to tell you, talk the safest precaution and assume you are breached thuz these numbers are so huge. >> the question always when you have the equifax website suggesting that people who signed up for free credit monitoring service gave up their rights to proceed. they clarified the agreement.
8:19 am
notify of the breach. >> they have bungled this in every way possible, charlie. everything from initially the site had some kinks in it when you went to check it to the fact that they had this waiver that $9 worth of free credit monitoring would be worth waiving your rights to a future lawsuit. they have since changed that. there's some questions around some stock sales that occurred for people inside of the company that seisay is coincidental and would expect a company of this scale and size to have run all sorts of scenarios to be repaired for a crisis like this and clearly they're making this up as they're going along. this is not good. >> it may be coincidental but the optics don't look good when they decided to sell those stocks. >> they say they didn't know and all this

now know how there are people that vulnerability are important that they kind of walk into it, a, that's not me and i don't hang out with people like that. for me, it was a year long street fight. it was a slugfest. nu vulnerability pushed. i fought back but probably won my fight back. >> that's a portion of one of the most popular talks. the 2010 discussion about the power of vulnerability is the fourth viewed ted talk of all time.
8:44 am
times. brown has spent more than a decade sharing shame and vulnerability. today she's out with a new book. it's called braving the wilderness. the quest for true belonging and the courage to stand alone. true belonging doesn't require you to stand who you are, it requires you to be who you are. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> i'm fascinating with your title. because those to me are two competing ideas, yet, you say they're both important. >> yeah, and the research took me by surprise. i thought belongings was something we associate with groups of people. as it turns out men and women who have the deepest sense of true belongings are the people who have the courage to stand alone. they are willing to maintain their integrity and
8:45 am
disconnection in order to stand up for what they believe in. >> under no circumstances would you want to change who you are? >> what emerged as the greatest barrier for belonging, fitting in. we assess the situation and we acclimate. and so real belonging requires us to be authentically ourselves and very difficult in their po larized environment. >> growth is a part of everyone so it's not about not ever changing who you are. it's about changing to be accepted. that's the part of the belongings. >> but you say now we're turning away from each other. we're turning away from each other. we're going to blame and rage. blame and rage becomes anger and that's all part of the pain that we're experiencing. fear leads to t
8:46 am
we're all deeply afraid. >> one of the other big shocks is looking at these two tracks of research that we see emerging across the world globally is one, we are more sorted than we've ever been in the history of the u.s. we're more likely to go to school with people who are politically and ideal logically like minded. you would think it would be closer ties, more connection. but as it turns out as sorting grows so does loneliness so we're becoming more lonely as we're becoming more -- >> what you read, what you watch, what you hear. >> what's interesting about what happens is it's not -- it's counter fit connection. the only thing
8:47 am
is we hate the same people. >> you worry about holding hands with strangers. explain what you mean. >> one of the things that emerged is that a belief in human connection is a fundamental part of connection. that is not breakable but we can forget at times. i mean, as a houstonian, we were just massively reminded, there was no one, my husband was in a kayak pulling neighbors out of their house, at no times -- i was in a shelter. at no time did people say what is your political belief? we need reminders, collective joy and pain, repieminders that are connected by something greater than us and whether it's music on concerts or disaster
8:48 am
>> you talk about dehumanization, but that's what you see a lot of people doing now. >> dehumanization is at every center of every genocide in history. and it's a very subtle process. it is about moving a group of people because we're hard wired to not be able to hurt each other. we are hard wired neurobiologically to not be able to kill, and hurt ieeach other. we have to move people out of moral inclusion. we have to move them out of what we see as humanity and you know where that starts? consistently, it starts with language and if you go on twitter today or facebook or any social, we see people on the left and right using dehumanizing language about each other like that.
8:49 am
and i think in the end it can't be are you conservative or liberal right or left. are you dehumanizing or are you not? >> it's so easy to all get along but we're not. so if you could say one sentence on what ke could do to change it and i know it's more than one sentence, but your ear a good talker. give us a good sen stanctence. >> the thing that moves away faster than anything else is not politics but fear. >> i could talk to you all day. thank you so much for being here. braving the wilderness is on sale now. you're watching "cbs this morning."
