we hear about data breaches, leaks of data from corporate data centers. we hear about weeks of data from apps and other kinds of technologies that we use. we're hearing a lot about collection and use of data by government. realizing increasingly that we leave a very big and diverse trail of data behind us. as he moved through the physical world as well. it is no longer the case that the kind of pervasive data trail in information collection that we are used to in the digital world is only in the digital world inw the digital the real world are fused. we leave these records behind us. this consists partly of data that we provide willingly to people. he data that we provide is sometimes available for collection or capture on a device we own, say data you enter on your phone or computer, data you send via e-mail. it is sometimes available for collection or capture at our own phone or computer. it typically traverses across the internet to some kind of server affiliated with the service that we are using or that is somehow enacted to our activity. at data is

with the recent examination of the data broker industry and the impact on consumers to proposing data requirements for industry, you and the members of this committee have sought to advance the same goals as the ftc and i want to thank you for your leadership. aware, committee is well consumer data is at risk. recent data breaches remind us hackers seek to exploit vulnerabilities to access and misuse consumer data in ways that can cause serious harm to consumers and businesses. these threats affect more than payment card data. breaches in-- recent years have compromised social security numbers, account passwords, health data, and information about children. this occurs against the backdrop of identity theft, which has been the top ftc consumer complaint for the last 14 years. today, i am here to reiterate the commission's bipartisan call for an enactment of a strong data security and breach notification law. never has the need for legislation been greater. with reports of data breaches on the rise, congress must act. the ftc supports federal legislation that would strengthen existing

but it really goes back to the data breaches at the big data centers. just storehouses of millions of people's information. if an identity thief hacks into that, they get information on everybody, and that's what happens to me. my social security, my mother's maiden name, my address, my phone number, enough to allow an identity thief to call into one of my credit card companies, pose as me and take over my account. >> is it possible to really opt out of all of these? >> not right now. there's not a national structure that allows a complete national data broker opt out at this point. we're strongly in favor of that, but until then, there's really what i call a top ten opt out. you can go to our site. and you can opt out and it will greatly reduce the volume of some of the public information that's circulating about you, and the other thing that i recommend for folks, do something called a prescreen opt out and this will keep credit card companies from doing a lot of information sharing that's avoidable. and it will reduce the overall traffic. traffic of

we hear about leaks of data from corporate data centers. we hear about leaks of data from apps and other kinds of technology that we use but and, of course, we are hearing a lot about collection and use of data by governments. we are realizing quickly that we leave -- lead -- leave a big trailer day behind us. but as we move to the physical world as well. it's no longer the case that the kinds of pervasive data trail and information collection that we are used in the digital world is only in the digital world. now really the digital world and the real world are fused and we leave these records behind us as we move through the physical world. and so the data trails that we played in this part of data we provide willingly. debut it at a website or information about a particular information that you provide to someone. and the data that we provide is sometimes available for collection or capture on a device that we own, say data that you entered into your phone or your computer, information that you sent the e-mail, for example. that informati

>> what kind of data? >> i think data can do a lot of things. the analogy i am hearing you ask about is like webmd which is the bane of physicians but also the boon of patients. you can go in and say i have malaria and they can say no. it also helps people be more informed and engaged in the process. in the legal services, it may be a similar possibility. i don't know. >> health care information is where we see the ability of people bringing information to deliver health care services to those who may not be able to pay for it. see that in many aspects of the affordable care act trying , to get information exchanges started. we don't have that yet in different industries. it's a very disparate, almost balkanized system of providing services to people. >> i know there was some concern after the revelations that u.s. companies were going to lose business because of fears of u.s. government surveillance. i know that stuart baker said very forcefully that there is no evidence that u.s. companies have lost any business. i have heard reliable reports

we combined the lights data with the population data, as well as a few other data sets, to make sure can confirm each light is actually a population place. narrator: using a combination of various population and geographic data sets, balk is able to determine how many people live in low-elevation coastal zones. balk: this is southern vietnam. so, we see the white areas are administrative boundaries. the red areas indicate the nighttime lights -- the urban areas. and this blue data set is the elevation zone that we've constructed from the srtm data -- shuttle radar topography mission elevation data set. so, we have ho chi minh city here. that's the big red area. and we'll now add the elevation buffer. the areas that remain bright red are above 10 meters, and all other areas right here where the blue has overtaken it is below 10 meters, and it's evident that the entire city is not below 10 meters, but much of it is. this notion of combining these different types of data at these fine resolution is an innovation, and it's an important one for effecting policy, because without data of th

critical first step in data the amount to limit f data that needs to be protected. eliminated the storage of card information in large merchantings. this made it more difficult for criminals to steal large amounts of data. they're stealing it in transit. therefore, strong security remains fundamental to the to protect the system. the card industry established a fully and ich when has stently implemented proven effective in protecting our stakeholders from cyberattack. for any icult organization to maintain complete security all of the time. with that in mind, we're working others in the industry towards a paradigm shift that in reduce or would eliminate vulnerable payment data from the merchant environment. data available in the environment could no longer be eused to commit fraud, criminals would have no reason to attack. data.ll this devaluing the we joined others to create a road map in the future of data a road map of three technologies, the chip, point-to-point encryption. the chip is a microprocessor embedded in payment cards. they're nearly impossible to coun

ig data. you have this collection of vast amounts of information today and you now also have new tools that could be used to process the information and allows companies to make sure it is from them. the issues that i am talking about today are issues that we confronted in the past, but now the fact that the amount of magnituden is greater does raise a difference because it is so much information. dissimilarntirely with issues in the past. one thing that you are getting at is that sometimes you can aggregate what seems to be benign pieces information. one example in this area is the example that was reported in the media where you had -- target had some analytical tools that they were able to determine based on the purchase of the particular individual were able to determine that a woman was pregnant because she was purchasing things like unscented lotion. that could raise concerns depending on how what inferences are being drawn. those are issues that i think companies have to think hard abou

we call this devaluing the data. that's over join with others and industry to create a roadmap for the future of payment security with a focus on three data evaluation technologies, the chip, and point-to-point because you. emv chip is a microprocessor that can be embedded in payment cards. chip cards are nearly impossible to counterfeit and as such a eliminate one of the most important incentives for criminals to steal payment data today. the profit opportunity from counterfeit card. but emv as not a silver bullet. in countries where it's widely used, protestant we moved to the online channel. so to address that threat we have proposed a new standard for digital payments known as tokenization which replaces the account holders 16 digit account number with a digital token during a transaction process. tokenization removes the sensitive data from the online merchant and firemen because it's the token and not the card number that goes to the merchant to the third element in the roadmap is point-to-point encryption, a t

this is the best data in politics. current data to effectively contact voters. we have new analytics that are revolutionizing how are campaigns are targeting voters. understandping him what is important to each individual donor. we have been improving how people can access the data to provide data back to us. tools make it easier for people to download and see the data. our new api allows other to receive data automatically. it sends the data back to us in real time. we opened the fooled -- field office in silicon valley. in addition to all of these we have a playbook with media lists and information and important surrogates. we have media training and research. this is not just one person's story. this is the story of our field staffers across the country. we have data directors all across the country helping our staff. everyone in between the rnc and assistund are helping to the direction and the use of this data. we have hundreds of staff across the country. today, 91% of our staff is not at the rnc in washington dc. they are outside. they support whole teams

we were talking about data security, legislation. in the reality the political prospects for getting that passed anytime soon aren't that great. any legislation is a slim bet really at this time, and there are few issues that state authority enforce, they may prove to be stumbling blocks. given the authority that you have right now, have you at all looked into the idea of one of these multistakeholder processes that the commerce department has been using with respect to privacy, and now they've picked up one for patent online notification issues? do you think that's an area that maybe working with consumer stakeholders and corporate and other stakeholders that have access to all this data could be a good approach? >> guest: absolutely. i think that self-regulation generally so long as you have a robust standard that's developed through something like a multistakeholder process, i think that's very important, and i absolutely sport that. we at the commission have long supported it. again, so long as you have a robust standard and if y

being as skeptical as possible about data that isn't real data, can we say there is any real data? is it feasible this sort of half scoop from the "wall street journal" might actually pan out and be useful information? and if according to "the new york times" several american agencies are reviewing that malaysian military radar data about something pinging on radar west of where that plane was supposed to be going, empirically without rank speculation, can we say the kind of date to american agencies apparently are reviewing, that radar data available to a military like that, is that the kind of data that might conceivably yield a yes or no question as to whether or not it was that plane? what does that data constitute? what might it mean? how specific could anybody looking at that data get? with a story like this, we're into a week on this story now. speculation hurts more than it helps. particularly for the people who are hoping for news of their loved ones. without speculating, what is empirically possible to know at this point? joining us now is kitty higgins, a former member o

we do need more data.e need to bring it down much more before we get any sensors in the water. >> how do you get that data is this. >> well, i keep hoping that somebody's military is going to step forward with some secret information, but as far as i know, there's none to date, but that would be wonderful. if we could get one electronic hit from a cell phone, from an emitter or the plane, a sighting, that would do it. that would nail it down. >> because peter, as you know, there's a lot of suspicious out there, some of the countries in that area, in that region, they don't trust each other, that somebody might be withholding critical information. >> we have the thai government saying, nobody asked. we don't know if there's covert activities or station or listening devices. perhaps in the ocean floor. that might have picked up something. we're just hoping the powers at be are going to come clean. >> colleen, if you were involved in this search, what would you be recommending right now? >> we would love to g

the radar data, the engine data and that's why they are going to be looking at the indian ocean. barbara starr says it's not 100%. three indications are pointing that way. >> plus, as we learned, so many leads, as you heard, have been undermined by further examination. what other capabilities does the u.s. government have to look at this situation completely independent of the malaysians? >> well, that's what is so important right now. we're told by u.s. officials that there are a number of intelligence and military analysts working this problem right now, looking at commercial satellite imagery, trying to look across all of these areas and see if they can figure out any anomalies, anything in the water that might indicate a piece of debris rather than just trash or garbage floating through the ocean, something more legitimate than what the chinese purported to show about 24 hours ago but there's an even bigger mystery here of another piece that they can't confirm right now, the same u.s. official telling me the emergency beacon system on the airplane that would have transmitted

that experience is backed up by data. verizon releases an annual report analyzing data breaches and finds the intrusions are the result of low-difficult hacking. and what that tells me and there is a lot more that companies need to be doing as a general matter. we are doing what we can through enforcement authorities, but encouraging companies also and we bought our 50th security case. but we are trying to alert companies of their obligations to provide adequate security. there is another area where as a bi-partisan commission, we can have support and endorse for legislation action in this arena asked congress to enact a robust data security law and would have strong data breach notification requirements. and we are also asking for civil penalty authority for the ftc so we can have greater deterance in this area. and we would like to have access to non-profits because they have had breaches. and we have for ruling to implement the law. >> host: edith ramirez is our guest. he is a lawyer and a harvard law grad and severed

the other is the d value of the data in their environment so they would no longer have valuable data be targeted by fees. the standard for october 2016 is for these emv chip cards. the card actually sends a one time use signal. even if you steal all of the data, relative the card, it can't be read used to commit fraud. the standard for 2015 is to implement the emv standard by placing emv terminals in the stores. and outfitting them with the proper technology on the back end. failing which, the merchant would be liable for the fraud if it is used in the terminal. >> my last question to you. do you believe there is any benefit in congress in the law trying to specify exactly what the card standard should be? if we said in law, you would have to have a chip in the card. is that a good thing or unhelpful? >> generally speaking, i would say that our success across the world has been through the liability shift mechanism. it allows flexibility in the different merchant environments to move in that direction. lex liability shift means that no secure things, they would have a higher liabilit

i think that the data that we can rely on such as bank lending data, total society financing, you know of in numbers could continue to point towards deceleration and growth, i would suggest. and i think, again, that's the backdrop, which is leading to this, you know, continued selling, steady selling in the china market. >> collide, nice to see you. short but sweet. thank you for joining us from standard chartered bank in singapore. we'll take a short break. still to come, as president obama prepares to host ukraine's prime minister, will congress back all sanctions against russia? we'll be in moscow and washington, d.c. right after this. ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] you're watching one of the biggest financial services companies in the country at work. hey. thanks for coming over. hey.

but it is also taking known data points. i actually think it is taking some of the mystery and speculation if you will out of it and going back as to what th do know. i hope applying it with data from boeing. >> and if those dog leg turns out over the straits of malacca are not through, and we don't know, but if the plane just did do one u-turn and go back across the peninsula it takes it right over indonesia, and raises the question what on earth was the indonesia authorities doing. >> why are you saying it may not have made the three turns that we think it made? >> because they're re-visiting all the data now. >> and the new search area is not indicative of the three turns. >> we have to go back and basically say what of the original data is accurate and true? of these pings, of these turns, what is valid? >> i think it is a stretch to discount all the data because there is change in this. you have to evaluate all the data. you don't just throw out the baby with the bath water. you have to do it logically and stick with th

data narrowing the search.s going to make some of that data available to people that require it. that leaves it wide open, whether or not he's going to share it with anybody like the united states, as they continue to try to press this investigation on their front. so i think the glaring hole in all of this, they have finally announced that they are going to send a delegation to beijing. that includes some representatives of the prime minister's office. representatives of the air force and others. they've been demanding this for days. when he said we're going to increase the assistance to the family, i mean, i can't think of anything that would outrage some of the victims' families more than that. the missing passengers' families have been, for days now, demanding to meet with the ambassador in beijing. they want answers. they want straight talk. they haven't got it. and they have heard that same line over and over again, john. we had a demonstration here today. i don't know -- do we have type to share some of

, is it hard satellite data?erstanding? >> my understanding at this point is that it's actually these pings that you refer to, which means that the system on board the aircraft is trying to get in contact with the satellite. it would have transmitted some data, but it doesn't transmit any data for some reason, it's not quite certain, not clear why. these repetitive attempts to reach a satellite and investigators believe that only an intact plane would do that. i want to add -- they're not suggesting this is the central theme of this investigation but the bottom line after almost a week of intensive searches is that this 250-ton plane didn't leave any debris if it crashed into the ocean. no matter whether it's a supersonic dive, vertical dive into water or a chesley sullenberger gradual belly landing on the hudson, a plane of this size has got to leave some debris. everybody agrees on that. somebody will float whether seat cushions or parts of galleys or something. so that's the big conundrum here. if you don't ha

this story is all about data. data, data, data, how much was recorded and how to get to it.ane goes down everybody talks about the black box, the bulk of the data out of the plane is on that black box. that is where the secrets to the plane's fate are held. the big problem with flight 370, you need to get your hands on it. that's the case with all planes right now. there's no way to send black box data in real time. that's simply because they just hold too much of it and we don't yet have the technology to assess it. to dig into that, i want to bring in professor of physics at the city of university of new york and author of the new book, the future of the mind. a noted futurist and has a lot to say about how technology should change to confront these kinds of challenges. dr. kaku, thanks so much for joining us. >> glads to be on the show. >> what design changes do you see in the coming decades and looking at crashes like this and the constant challenges in finding data on the flights, do you think part of that will be overall black boxes? >> this exposed huge gaps in our de

they keep it for themselves today by other data from the data broker's to enhance that they have theest profiles out there. the problem with that is the government is always the google story. we've seen it, the secret requests for data. we also saw this hack into google's data center when they couldn't get it through the front door. so i like google. i would like to trust them at making it. i don't know if they can defend themselves against the nsa. >> service a great way to. the fourth amendment requires a warrant to search my home, wise and they weren't required for the nsa to search any computer in my home? >> is because of the third-party dock turn. basically if they go into your house and take your computer, they still need a warrant. it's so easy to get the information from your computer. there's many ways to circumvent the requirement. >> you talk in the book about the case from california with finance or pitches last year said computer searches, even if they're at the border arrests at the home can potentially reveal so much that they have to be minimized and police should on

hewitt. >> this time i got data from kaiser in november. and they sent necessity -- me the premium and claim summaries. kaiser is fully insured and we talked in january about whether or not we wanted to consider taking risk and just what kind of renewal given the ruckus from last year we should anticipate. so this is a twofold presentation. one is, do i want to keep the temperament of possible taking risk and some board members are opposed and others lukewarm and others think it's a nice idea. that being said we are going to review the data briefly and i can give you my actuarial view of the trajectory of the data of what it implies of a fully in insured rate. so just to give you a sense of what we have. we have a premium built upon experience data, 100 percent experience rated for inpatient claims, outpatient claims and of the rx data is all supposedly specific to kaiser. where they have to have a big access charge which has been a lot of discussion if this meeting and other meetings at the other.cms. that is allocated not a specific basis

this is the point where the inmarsat data and radar data overlaps.it's still the same distance away. can i draw on this? >> yeah, you sure can. >> so the northern arc and southern arc, that's at 8:11. it was on an arc somewhere like this. with each hour, the plane was located at a different distance from the satellite. now, we know the plane has to be moving otherwise it wouldn't stay in the air. and we know -- if you make an assumption about is speed, say it's going 500 miles an hour, if it's still on the same arc, it must be about this distance away. >> you can drag and drop if you like. >> we don't know which direction it's going, but we know how far it's going to go. >> so this is allowing them to hone in. >> exactly. now it's here or here. or here or here. >> i think that's what people are struggling to understand is the "or." i we know the malaysians have focused on the southern arc. you are saying don't discount the northern, correct? >> that's what i had been saying because we didn't have any data that led us to determine north or south. all

look for data.nd when we do an investigation in the united states, by the way, whenny in ntsb is done, people like me pick up, we depose everyone. we go back over and re-create the accident. you should have the -- the log books searches, contributes, what did he do in the previous week. i mean, there's no -- there's nothing to be saying they didn't do it about. they should have done it. if they haven't, i want to know why. >> mary schiavo, thanks, as always. >> thank you. >>> still to come, malaysian officials respond to the latest report that flight 370 flew on for hours and hours after it disappeared from the radar. we'll talk more about that when we come back. >>> malaysian officials are knocking on "the wall street journal" report that flight 370 may have flown for four hours after the last radar contact. jim clancy has more from day six of the search. >> reporter: malaysian officials say they found nothing. >> let me be clear. there's no real precedent for a situation like this. the plane vanis

but the problem with the data, the most recent data is the plane can't dive that fast. can't even fall out of the sky that fast. and we know that from previous accidents. so we know that data is unreliable. we also note data, the directional data is unreliable because the plane can't be going north and south at the same time. so i think the problem here is to sort out what data is reliable and what isn't. factually speaking it's impossible they both are. i know the plane can't dive that fast. it would come apart. >> andy pastor from the wall street journal, what about that? how accurate do the officials you're talking, to how accurate do they feel the data is? because as mary points out, the idea of -- and everybody has been raising suspicions about this idea the plane plunging some 40,000 feet. there's other data as well. >> now, of course we're talking about two different things, anderson. the wild swings in altitude come from radar data that the malaysians have put together, which is i would say significantly suspect just because of some technical issues and the dist

no data existed. if you look at the size and scale of what we are talking about, you are talking about a vastly expanded area of search. previously you are were talking about the eastern side and talking about the south china seas and the gulf of thailand. now you are on the western side and out to the indian ocean. this is a very real discrepancy from what we heard overnight from the authorities and no data. what we heard from rolls royce, no data. now strong reporting from barbara star that the u.s. is sending the fleet into the indian ocean to search. >> do we still have mary on the line? is mary on the line? you heard barbara dar reporting from the department of transor theation. >> i think basically that there is some information, we have to respond. no way we have at least radar heading after the plane turned or someone reported it and we have people reporting that the engines were turning. no way we cannot follow-up on the lead. it would be inhumane and it might be just the lead we need, but we

>> how would you get to the data? >> what kind of data? >> i think david can do a lot of things. i think the analogy that i'm hearing you ask about is kind of like the bane of physicians but also the boom of patients. i think i got malaria and they're like no, but it also helps people be more informed and engaged in the process. in the legal services may be a similar possibility. i don't know. >> i'm not aware of any -- health information is where we see the ability of people bringing information and using information to deliver better health care services to those who may not be able to pay for them. we see many aspects of the affordable care act trying to get information exchanges set out. but we don't have that yet come into different industries or legal services yet. i think it's still a very disparate almost vulcanized system of providing services to people. >> i know there was some concern after going back to snowden, but after the revelations that u.s. companies were going to lose business because of fears of u.s. government surveillance, and i know that stewart baker said

is there new radar data or can you be specific which data you're talking about from which country, et >> the data is a matter in detail for the malaysians. there is a set of radar data from a number of sources. but most of this work is closer analysis of existing data rather than new radar data coming to light. >> can you explain about their role and what satellites or whatever we have access to or are sharing, that we can actually retask? are they things that pass over the area once a day, ten times a day? >> they're effectively providing a service for government agencies. we take it as a consumer, and to they are looking through all of the satellite imagery that's available. i'm sure they take it from commercial and government sources. and they provide us with the best leads that are available. i think in you want a detailed explanation, you probably need to talk to them. >> the potential debris spotted supports the apparent search area, given that it may have drifted from that area? >> referring to the new area, aircraft have only just arrived on scene today. so we'll need to wait
