cyber experts say photo phishing could become more prevalent in the year to come. they also say pictures embedded with meta data can include where you were when that picture was taken. and you should check your camera and software now to make sure that kind of information is not available to prying eyes. so don't be stupid, as that guy said. >> you've always got to try to stay a step ahead of the bad guys. it gets exhausting. >>> the high-tech glasses that are helping police keep their eyes on crime. >>> coming up on news4 at 5:00, the express lanes are back to open in virginia. but what about in maryland. new video of the possible suspect involved in a shootout near the white house. tonight at 6:00, bakeries being put on notice. the latest on the hostess strike that's going down to the wire. >>> investigators are nearing the end of their work at the scene of a deadly explosion, but they don't know when they'll zero in on the cause of the blast. two people died in the explosion in indianapolis last saturday. dozens of homes are damaged or destroyed. the woman who l

so smishing is to text messages what phishing is to emails.t's basically bad guys send you out a text message designed to get you to visit a website, but once you click on these links, a couple of things could happen. a, you could download a virus to your mobile device essentially infecting it with a spy wear. then spy on your activity on your mobile devishgs or it will bring you to a website that eventually you'll plug in your information and ultimately giving away your credit card data. any time you receive a text message for any type of an offer, just hit delete. if you receive a text message to update your device, just hit delete because your carrier is not going to send you that text. always be careful out there, and, again, update your device with anti-virus as well. >> that delete button is your friend this time of year. no doubt. what about certain sites and deals you think we can trust? what do you like? >> so i always will do business, again, with those who i know and i can trust. there are certain web sites like ebay and amazon and

the most popular way though is through phishing e- mails, and they basically are coming to you and saying, "listen, we're from american airlines or we're united airlines," they'll put the logo up there. it makes you think that, but then when you look down and you go further and you see it's "u.s. airlines," well, there is no "u.s. airlines." so they're really looking at very sophisticated and tricky ways of getting to you. > > what can people do to protect themselves? > > first and foremost, really pay attention to what's coming to you in those e-mails. then also, like your bank account and like your credit card, change those passwords and be aware of what's coming. watch the accounts to see if they've been touched at all. also, you might want to be aware of how they address you. when i get something from american airlines, it says "hello jennifer." if it says something like "dear customer" or one i saw that just said "dear," you should be worried that that is not necessarily coming from your airline. > > will the airline refund the miles? > > they might. i'm sure they will if you harass

phish will say though that this will allow the public to have a better understanding of the moves that the fed made. dimitry. tying it to the unemployment rate yeah that's a dumb idea i've said that before it doesn't it doesn't actually accomplish anything why is that because what are you going to do are you going to burst of all we've seen that monetary policy doesn't actually lower unemployment that's a broken model is when you reach the point of debt situation like we have now but also there's just too but in general that we've had people come in this can show before and say you should just run up deficits and print as much money as possible until you get the employment rate the unemployment rate down to zero yeah so both it's ineffective to actually do it accomplish it through monetary policy and also doing it if you could be effective is ineffective in itself because you're focusing on just putting people to work. capacity for filling up capacity as opposed to allowing the economy to readjust to a recession yeah i hear you also i think it's interesting these fed minutes there was

the phish investigat -- the fbi investigated and now lawmakers are demanding more information. >> reporterirwoman plans an investigation of her own to find out why. senator feinstein also revealed that the petraeus broadwell affair came to light while the bureau was trying to figure out who was harassing another female friend of petraeus over e-mail. >> what i've been told is that there was somebody else that he knew and was close to and that mrs. broadwell sent these threatening e-mails to her and she was frightened and she went to the fbi. >> reporter: petraeus is no longer expected to testify before congress about the deadly 9/11 raid on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, but republican senator lindsey graham says the truth will never come out if petraeus keeps quiet forever. >> we have a national security failure along in the making. i don't see how in the world you can fine out what happened in benghazi -- find out what happened many benghazi before, during and after the attack if general petraeus doesn't testify. >> reporter: a whistleblower got ahold of republican congressman dave reic

. >> reporter: i think that during this time you've got a lot of people sending phishing e-mails and scam e-mails so check and double-check throughout the holiday season. >> we saw preliminary numbers that online sales have hit a record this go-round already. is that in large part because of those smartphones and the tablets and how people are using them to shop? >> reporter: sure, exactly what you said, fredricka. we're seeing more and more people turn to their mobile devices to shop because it's not just cyber monday anymore. it's the first time you get into the office, the first time you have high-speed internet. you've got smartphones, tablets, and access to the internet. we looked at the numbers, to see how many people were using mobile devices to actually shop during black friday. and that's up nearly two-thirds from 2011. if you look at the breakdown, 10% of people are using their ipads to shop during black friday. 9% using iphones. 5.5% for android devices. you see these numbers increasing. and i can tell you, i think that's not going to change. i think we're going to continu

it's phishing.want to put all of my defenses, a lot in that because that is where my biggest vulnerabilities are. you talked about the assets nasa has and how we protect them. one for which alleges is we have data we want everybody to have. we want to do information sharing, we want to collaborate with universities, with other agencies, other organizations, and on the other hand we have data that we don't want anybody to get and we want to protect as much as possible. there is no single answer for how to protect that range of data. >> so what do you need to make nasa's information saver? >> well, a lot things come to understand what the threats are. i try to piece it together the best i can read the information sharing is spotty. >> manly governor? >> i would push on other contractors because we interconnect with a lot of aerospace contractors and sometimes they're vulnerable bodies become ours and they are not forthcoming with sharing that information there is no requirement for them to tell us any

we do phishing attacks on our employees. every year and now from 1000 to 5000 click on it. the first one i sent a reminder and says, do you know who is clicking on that? the second time i want to say, are you stupid? the third time, we show them how to use their computers. the first thing you know for any organization is password strong. they get a set of rules about how to work in that environment, and every year we have more than a handful of people who seem to miss it. some of them are the rocket scientists, and they are so busy creating something, they are like, i just did not think. we have spear fishing that hits a lot of our principles. you know that david petraeus has been our director for a little over a year. he is a retired army guy who spent a fair bit of the last decade overseas. he is a visible guy. he is so visible every day we scan his computer, because he has classified computers and unclassified, and the unclassified computers are how he connects. every day he gets one from some country or some person, he has no idea who they are. we will say, just remembe

why is the phish and maybe -- is the fbi and maybe -- can't get access.n as well as graham get me access. john brennan get me access. >> steve: the administration doesn't want -- like lindsey graham just said they are trying to run out the clock until the election. >> brian: i don't understand why the fbi isn't more outraged. >> gretchen: maybe that's part of the reason why we are seeing drip, drip. somebody is behind the leaks. here is retired admiral james lions. he says courage was lacking in benghazi. he has written an op. ed about it here is a snippet from that according to his article. having been in a number of similar situations i know you have to have the courage to do what's right and take immediate action. obviously that courage was lacking for benghazi, the say safety of your personnel remains paramount. with all the ceability we had in theater for the leadership to have deliberately ignored the pleas for assistance is not only incomprehensible it's unamerican. the state department did a press conference but she wouldn't take any questions abo
