if there's one week of stuff in vegas that isn't staying in vegas, it's this week's bsides, black hattorious def con gatherings. this is the week where hackers rub up against law enforcers and everyone peeks over each other‘s shoulders and networks. so, let's get straight into the action. and for our first act of the show. daniel here has got an extra piece of software running allowing him to hear what's being typed on the other end of a skype call. so how does it work? the software during a skype call learns how your keyboard sounds like and if you later during the call type something sensitive, like a password or e—mail, we can understand what you've typed using machine learning algorithms. this is because each key has a unique fingerprint based on the position of the key on the keyboard. the suggested results from what our victim might be typing are listed on the screen. as you can see, it's spotted every word except one but when asked to choose the words to make the most likely sentence, it's not so on the money. so, this is scott helme. he is notjust our victim, he's also a secur

its own backup web site that users could go to an alphabet was initially taken down so i'm here at black hat and i spoke to a lot of people to get their professional insight and also just our general thoughts on the dark wet and on alphabet a and they all sort of share the same sentiment on one side it's a positive success for law enforcement that they were able to take down the black market of this i mean there were tens of thousands of vendors on. alpha day and they also had hundreds of thousands of customers but on the other side the dark web is an acid and there's a lot that we've had yet to see so they think that we're going to continue to see more alpha base and more silk road in the future and we don't really have the ability to stop that that said they do recognize the downside to the dark web but they also are telling me that there is a positive side that they are well but just overshadowed by the negative sides about it so take a look at what they had to say about. much of what's known about the dark web is negative to many it's simply a digital version of the underground economy t

it used to be just hostile during defcon and black hat. now every airport seems to have a fake cell tower operating, fake wi-fi catchers, because if you're going to steal somebody's log-ins, why not at the business lounge at an international airport. that's where the high value targets are. if you monitor your wi-fi signals, when you're traveling, you'll see all these fake stations, amtrak station, d.c. has a fake cell tower outside of it a couple of times. it is just this is the way that it is. and if you're a criminal, and you can build a backpack to intercept information and just leave the backpack plugged in somewhere, that's so much low risk than trying to rob a bank. >> watch the communicators tonight at 8:00 eastern on c-span2. >>> the commissioner of the s.e.c. michael piwowar has been talking with business leaders around the country about regulations and how they affect the economy. the heritage foundation discussion ran about an hour. >> good afternoon. welcome to the heritage foundation and our louis lairman auditorium. welcome

mean as rahm emanuel told me in my book, "the gate keepers," he said look, you've got white hats, black hats, a battle for the soul for the presidency, you want that kind of creative tension in the white house. but at the end of the day when the president makes a decision, everybody's has to fall in line behind the white house chief of staff to execute that agenda. and we're just not seeing that in this white house. this has been amateur hour from day one. >> i'm curious, you've got general john kelly. he's inheriting this white house which operates in a very nontraditional way to put it nicely. you now have scaramucci joining jared kushner, steve bannon, kellyanne conway who have been reporting to the president. do you think general kelly can establish some sort of rank and order here? that's what he reflects with his military background. or is he going to be blocked from doing that at the start. scaramucci says he's not budging from reporting straight to the president, as you were alluding to earlier. >> if i were kelly, i'd call jim baker, i'd call leon panetta, erskine bowles. these guys

this break-in was demonstrated at the notorious black hat in vegas where the world's most elite hackersto deploy malware and eventually gain access to the system. but tesla isn't faced by the hack. they already issued a fix for the problem and gave a thumbs-up to the hacker team for exposing the flaw saying in a statement in part while the risk to our customers from this type of exploit is very low, and we have not seen a single customer ever affected by it, we actively encourage research of this kind so that we can prevent potential issues from occurring. if you're a tesla driver, make sure you update to the latest firmware, that way you'll be protected. liz. liz: thank you, hillary. actually, if you're a shareholder, no trouble to the stock right now. it's about flat to slightly higher. tesla at the moment as we see it at $335 looks healthy, but we should also let you know, we like to put it into perspective for you. the annual high is about $389 a share. so certainly off the highs. closing bell, 28 minutes to go. we have the dow jones industrials holding onto gains of about 26 points
