meanwhile we've got a Fox News Alert and it's troubling pharmacies all across the country are having trouble processing some prescriptions because of a Cyber attack targeting change Healthcare one of the largest Healthcare tech companies there are the company says it is addressing the breach but some hospitals already reported problems Carl Zabo is a VP and general counsel for net choice and a professor of Internet law at George Mason's University's Calia law school and he joins us now thanks so
much uh for being here Carl so what's H what happened here how extensive was this Cyber attack and and is it still ongoing yeah we're still finding it out most cyber attacks take about 280 days to actually Trace where they are what happened we have learned that this is likely a foreign encounter but the main concern that I'm seeing is these cyber attacks continue to increase and the government is just going to try and pass the buck less than 0.05% of cyber attacks get prosecuted that means 99%
99% of cyber tax go unprosecuted so the Cyber taxs are going to continue and somebody is dropping the ball and in this case it's the government right and Carl this is separate from the cell phone outage yesterday we don't know what caused that AT&T and the other companies haven't said but this according to United Healthcare they are blaming a nation state okay if if you're say nation state that sounds like it could be it could be uh Korea North Korea obviously it could be Russia it could be Chin
a our Intel Community would know who it is but the question is does our Administration have the fortitude to go after them yeah unfortunately the answer is no to that question I mean this isn't new we saw Sony get hacked by North Korea we saw the colonial pipeline shut down just a couple years ago with these ransomware attacks we're seeing ransomware attacks against our hospitals what we need is law enforcement to go out and do its job we need Less Talk More prosecutions and we need the governme
nt to stand up it's like going to a convenience store and blaming the store for being empty or not securing their stuff enough no we need to go and prosecute the criminals yep so Carl describe what this exactly means I mean if you're an elderly person and or if you're taking care of your mom you need to go to the pharmacy to go pick up her medicine and it's not fa I mean this could be a matter of life and death correct yes it absolutely scares me uh my my brother has a rare disease he needs his
medicine all the time and the thing is we need to take it upon ourselves to protect ourselves simple things that we can do and I talk to community centers all the time about this make sure you secure your personal email use unique passwords activate two-factor authentication cuz until the government steps up and starts doing its job we need to secure ourselves yeah hey Carl quick ask a question they say it's a nation state threat who do you think it is I know you're speculating but who do you th
ink it is I mean it's the usual players and this is why America needs to continue to be the leader in technological dominance in the world we gave away our energy Independence we cannot give away our technological Independence all right well we didn't hold China accountable when they flew that spy balloon across our country doubt will hold them accountable if to blame here anybody 0.0 is a tough stat to compete with thank you very much scary it's very scary smart guy I'm Steve duy I'm Brian kill

Ive lost respect to the ppl currently in charge for what they're doing to our country. They're more worried about Trump's "hush money" than the actual National Security of its own LEGAL residents!

@Grumpyoldman666

Cyber security is way more important than funding foreign wars. Our government needs to wake TF up and take them seriously

@Saint724

Wow! What a shame, this is what happens when America is last, and other countries come first!

@sarahkalenda6799

This is absolutely terrifying. We need legislation to address this immediately.

Shoutout to people whose kindness isn’t strategy but a way of life.

@banalucki

You can't have it both ways - corporations can't say they are "self-regulated" and deny regular audits by government regulatory agencies and then want the "government" to fix their problems.

@goldbud2287

Build Back Better ….still within for that disaster to end …..Trump can’t get back fast enough

@honestDonaldTruck

Folks, Let's talk plain and simple. Russia is helping BRICS countries grow stronger, like a team they're building. But here's the twist: Russia is also spreading messages in the USA that go against working together with other countries, which is not good for America. When Russia boosts BRICS, they're trying to get more power globally. But when they push against teamwork with other nations in the USA, it weakens America's ability to stand strong in the world. As supporters of the Traditional Republicans, we need to be aware of these moves that could harm our country. Standing up for working together with other countries isn't just about being nice—it's about making sure America stays powerful and can protect our interests on the world stage. Let's stick together and keep pushing for a world where we work with others, not against them, for a better future for all of us. Thank you, you are wonderful people!

I work in a doctors office. Let me tell you...the ladies at Walgreen's are ready to tear their hair out or start drinking on the job. It's a cluster!

@edwarddelgado9654

Yeah, another thing. A lot of companies are outsourcing their IT to India who make up their own best practices, dont have college degrees, they never fully understand the requirements, deliver shoddy workmanship, hence unsecured, and are deceitful to their clients. I've seen it. Bring IT back to the US. Hire American software engineers who use proven methodologies and testing. CI/CD is subjective testing by the developers and is not tested and approved by the stakeholders before going to production

@germinationwide4life

I've been waiting 2 days for antibiotics, and all my other meds. Was told it might not be fixed until Monday. What a joke our country has become under Biden.

@davidseals4898

Joe and hunter been paid. Period

@LoneStarWorldNews

It's great to see people engaging in important topics like law and justice. Discussions like these are crucial for a healthy society. It's inspiring to see individuals like Florida's AG Moody taking a stance and contributing to the conversation. Remember, every voice matters in shaping our communities. Keep up with staying informed and involved! 🌟👍

things worked faster and better before the internet.

Still ongoing here in Washington state. Pharmacist says Medicare and Labor and Industries is being affected and she said it has been ongoing since Wednesday. My husband has been using the same pharmacy for decades so was told they will give him a few pills to tide him over until it is corrected.

@mootown58

Went with my friend to pharmacy Wednesday and Good Rx was down. We didn't know why until the next day. People couldn't afford prescriptions without that discount.

@craigkilling9021

Can we just call it what it is…CHINESE

@mattbroct

News anchors need education. USA does search warrant - judge reviews. Judge issues warrants to search - opposing govt says we do not honor thst even if not a nation state - Analysts are better at playing judges instead of presenting a fact pattern… and can’t understand why no one trusts the news.

@drewota1162

How many American lives were threatened or loss due to this "cyber attack?"
