sony google even the contractor defense contractor lockheed martin so are we in the midst of some sort of serious dangerous cyber war against america or is the cyber threat just a bunch of hype joining me to discuss this is david seltzer he's an attorney and cyber crimes expert david welcome to the program thank you so much for being here so how do you should americans how worried should americans be cyber warfare is this a real threat or just a bunch of hackers you know making a little funny pranks and trying to get their name out there yeah you know one may call it a funny prank but one of the facts you personally and affects your identity is not so funny anymore because cleaning up your identity in society today when everything we do revolves around technology and your financial data and security it's a big mess so we need to be concerned and we need to be worried that our government is getting hacked you know i read a statistic today that one in four hackers is employed by the government in some shape or form. and essence informant for the government but if the government can't sto

these attacks, these latest attacks follow cyberraids on sony and google just last week. t developments. >> on sunday nintendo confirmed it was indeed hacked. bit same group that targeted sony last week and pbs the week before. that would be luls security. the breach happened in mid-may but the company only confirmed it yesterday. in that statement just yesterday, the games maker added that the issue was resolved a few weeks ago and is beefing up security measures now. it said neither customer nor company information was compromised. it seems nintendo got off lightly. it's not clear whether that's thanks to robust security on nintendo's part or lulzak being nice. nintendo fixed it anyway. heart them. another post said they love the nintendo 64. as for nintendo shares, investors are falling a little bit out of love with nintendo right now with the gamesmaker. the stock closed down about 1.6% today at the close. charles? >> okay. we know what they are up to, we know what it does but we don't know what it is. can you shed any light on it? >> the group has a website. this is w

sony and google on a global growing list of hacking victims but also growing it would seem to the so-called hacktivists for example the anonymous collective who say that they're just trying to hold corrupt politicians and firms accountable now in their latest campaign which we talked a little bit about yesterday dubbed operation empire state rebellion anonymous set its sights on fed chairman ben bernanke and they want him to step down over what they say are economic crimes against the american people well one reporter who's been hot on the hackers trail is courtney comstock of the business insider and she's joining us now from new york city thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us so you know anonymous gave ninety days to resign or else and i may have missed the announcement since i've been sitting here in studio during the day but it seems that he hasn't exactly stepped aside so what now work we expect from operation empire state rebellion you know we were supposed to be expecting some protests today and there were supposed to be protests and new york city and across the coun

the google attack is just the latest. in the past month, sony's playstation video game network had more than 100 million user accounts compromised, and marketer epsilon saw hackers get access to customer e-mails it maintains for companies such as walgreen's, capital one and h.s.n. on capitol hill today, lawmakers called for new regulations to increase security precautions. tim schaaf, president of sony network entertainment international, said those new initiatives and big budgets may not be enough to prevent another security breach. >> despite spending millions of dollars to secure your networks, despite all of the best methods known to us, our networks are not 100% protected. >> tom: denis kelly is author of the "official identity theft prevention handbook." he's also chairman of the identity ambassador commission, a private group that certifies identity theft prevention experts. >> welcome tonight to business report. is there no amount of money? no amount of protection can guarantee the security of customer information online? >> there's nothin

google, sony, scg&e and lockheed martin have all fallen victim to cyber attacks in the past 3 months suspected of being launched by haikers. >> if you you commit acybercrimn russia, china, and you car out the crime in the u.s. there is almost 7 chance they'll end up in jail. >> banks and corporations often pass on their losses to customers. >> >> maybe it's only a nickel a month but 130 million, you've got very rich people in the world. >> a world where crime does pay. cbs news. >> later, a new ultrasound treatment is killing tumors without a single cut. an architect lost his sight, not creative vision. and teachers worked for years for their pensions, they don't want to switch t 401(k)s. those stories with cbs evening news continues. >> so i wasn't playing much of a role in my own life. but with advair, i'm breathing better. so now, i've got the leading part. advair is clinically proven to help significantly improve lung function. unlike most copd medications, advair contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator, working together to help improve your lung funct

it's a familiar warning, google, sony, citigroup and lockheed martin have all fallen victim to cyberttacks in the past three months, suspected of being launched by hackers abroad. >> if you commit a cyber crime and you live in russia or china or a few other places, and you carry out the crime in the u.s., there's almost zero chance you'll end up in jail. >> reporter: meanwhile, banks and corporations often pass on their losses to customers. >> maybe it's only a nickel a month on your bill but multiply that by 130 million and you've got some very rich people in the world of cyber crime. >> reporter: a world where crime does pay. jay dow, cbs news, new york. >>> this morning on "the early show" the anthony weiner debate, should the congressman resign? i'm terrell brown. this is the "cbs morning news." at bayer, we're re-inventing aspirin for pain relief. with new extra-strength bayer advanced aspirin. it has microparticles, enters the bloodstream faster and rushes relief to the site of pain. it's clinically proven to relieve pain twice as fast. new bayer advanced aspirin. it's clinical

the imf found that companies like google, sony, the international stock exchange are all being targeted. they now want to up the ante on cybercrime. any attack or hacking by a foreign country could soon be declared an act of war. tony sabre joins us on talk on cyber attacks. this policy, is it going to be a deter rent on cyber attacks? >> the most effective deterrent is going back to the cold war to turn a force on force. the assumption is that someone values something of their own that you can attack and hold that hostage to something that you value on your side. frankly, it holds no credibility in the 21st century by the fact that often we can't even adequately or accurately identify the source of the attack because you can mask attacks, or as we saw in the imf attack, there was a certain level of insider access which may have contributed. so how do you trace that back to a nation state act? it's a very difficult challenge, and i don't believe the current path is one that's going to net us a very good policy. >> so a newer policy with an updated way of thinking. really, america's fina

as we all learned this morning, overseas hackers from china hacked into google email accounts. like sony, epsilon, and now google, my home state of texas has experienced a massive data breach in april of this year, with almost 3.5 million people had their personal information, their names, mailing addresses, and social security numbers compromised from the office of the texas comptroller. it was posted to a public server. there's a clear need for government, businesses, and citizens to work together to protect citizens' personal information. look forward to working with the chairwoman on comprehensive data security legislation. i thank the witnesses for coming, and i yield back the balance of my time. >> thank the gentleman, and turn our attention to the panel. we have a single panel of very distinguished witnesses joining us today. welcome. each of you have a prepared statement that will be placed but if you could summarize your statements remarks, we'd appreciate it. on our panel, we have the epsilon data management l.l.c. also testifying is the president of sony network entertainment

senate yesterday joining the international monetary fund sony as well as google and the growing list of hacking victims but also growing as a number of so-called hacktivists which is the anonymous corrupt collector of say that they're simply trying to hold corrupt officials accountable now in their latest campaign dubbed operation of our state rebellion anonymous once federal reserve chairman ben bernanke you to resign over what they say are economic crimes against the american people so are these guys villains or just the pseudo robin hood's of cyberspace laurie harvest of the resident dot net to the streets of the big apple to find out. so many intend even the f.b.i. it seems like no one is safe from hackers these days i do however punks heroes or villains this week let's talk about that. they are heroes because. everything they are they are a product of the security systems so what if a robber or a bank robber is technically a. professional enough to get into a bank does that make him a hero to. the police department goes into certain things and the government goes into certain th

of so given the increase in recent attacks that we've seen from lockheed martin to the sony networks to the google hats why not we have a big military why not threaten any potential brawn doers with retaliation on the ground well i think that there's some truth in that in the feeling in the pentagon in the government is that we have to have some sort of policy on paper given all the excitement hoopla right now about cyber war and cyber attacks and i will say that i don't think there's anything inherently wrong with the policy as outlined yet i'm just worried about what it could be the pentagon hasn't announced it's a policy its policy officially yet they certainly have a study thing about w m d which is so in the lead in they just said under some circumstances we might respond to cyber attacks or military force and to me the trouble with that is just that the vast vast majority of. facts have nothing to do with the military the criminal attacks people trying to steal information and what not and we need to be careful that we don't group that in with the real high and cyber attacks which luckily we

for example we had the sony and epsilon data breaches that were basically criminal activity and then we saw the ghoshal security threat that was posed by the breaking into google accounts of how little government officials like anonymous are in some sense almost a slightly lower level of threat than those kinds of threats but again we're seeing them all at once and that as a group there's a makes those. it seem more dangerous we i mean last i can honestly can say obviously initially they said they were just doing it for the law not of this was a little more politically active but now that you are joining forces i guess you could say that d.d. o. s. attacks aren't really a grave danger it's a national security by any means but now they've actually gone after cia now they've actually touched on senate to see a massive reaction from the government now they feel like they're being personally attacked i think that is in some sense the biggest potential fallout from this kind of thing when you see people that design not terribly dangerous attacks in any way that makes them look to be garnering then all of a sudden policymakers see that may see a very visible threat

sony affected as well. the electronics giant where hackers stole personal details of tens of millions of playstation users and googleso suffering from the same thing. the internet giant pointed the finger, though, at china when it was targeted by hackers. google says attempts were made to access the g-mail accounts of human rights activists as well as government officials. let's bring in eddie william, an expert in online security who joins us via skype from brussels. thanks for being with us. who is behind all this? >> hello. excuse me, what did you say? >> who is behind this? >> well, i have several records of hackers. so what we have, for instance, amateurs that are still around and stu tried to, well, run around with everybody but the most important level of the hackers are the activists and the crackers. hack-tivists have a political motivation. on the contrary the activists, the crackers, are completely different. and they are after the money, so that's a complete different level. >> what do we need to do to stop it? >> well, to stop it it's -- for us it's quite easy. for the normal guy on the street, if you h
