that anyone's personal information is involved, they will notify those who are affected. a learn more about how these attacks happened and what needs to be done to try to prevent them were joined by cybersecurity expert in san jose state professor. >> ahmad banafa professor, thanks for joining us by now at this after all of these stories over the last few years about these attacks, it's it's kind of discouraging to think think still keep happening. is that because we're still not aware enough to protect our systems better or hackers getting better at getting in or a combination of both. i mean, it's a good that the key thing here is the weakest link in any computer is that human. >> and most of the whereas most of them, 90% of them is that they happen through something called phishing email. you on the link download an attachment basically a code that will have access to the network until we educate the users and understand how significant in this one, the the hackers will have that, you know, an
8:32 pm
opening. >> so talk about some of the other ways that they get. and you mentioned the fission, but there's they use advertisements and other things. just give us a laundry list of what things we need to be careful about. >> i think before click. that's the rule that we have in the cybersecurity. number 2 is if you receive any kind of you know, at that highs, mentor or a link to a website, a fuel bank, which is not the normal way for you to get there. that could be a possible one. i know that the city is they did a lot of good stand by, for example, imposing the 2 factor authentication. now to prevent the past but the thing about it is, again, it's coming to the human factor. that training is very important, right? don't bring any usb drives from outside. you know, the organization and tried get in without checking all of these thing that would open the network to any kind of out site, you know, axes, that's going to be a source for
8:33 pm
things like this. and that's something that is going to be an ongoing issue. and there's no >> security that can vent that from taking place. and we get these fedex ups e-mail saying that, hey, your packages here. but we need this information for you to get it. that kind of stuff. it seems legit. everything looks good but it's always going to be that opening. there's no security that can prevent that from happening. well, several security is a race between the good people and bad people. so every time we find something to protect one of but abilities are over security holes, they find something else to go and try to access it. the key thing is that common sense, which is it safe text messages saying that is a shipment is late, can click and just want to track it. i understand that the best thing i can do is just go to side that the official one and check it and the same thing going on with any kind of of messages that coming to you just go to the original website and check of this is true or not. so, you know,
8:34 pm
governments are affected and then there are individuals who have. >> seemingly fewer protections. you just said that it seems like a race between the good guys and the bad guys. it's a feeling that the government, our governments are always playing catch up on this. why is it? why isn't our government farther ahead of further ahead in protecting us from these kinds of things? >> that's point that it is. that is the point about it is the government, the any any kind of organization like this, they call them soft targets because it is not that the highest priority when it comes to budget was spending. it's there are other things that has to be done before we can get to the list of the latest technology or the practices or the training for the users and the hackers. they know that. i mean, we have stories about a lot of that. a school district being hacked. why? because they don't have enough staff understaffed or didn't have any budget so they can buy the best of the it could have been done and stop to it to protect
8:35 pm
himself. and this is what we have and this group play the call didn't play crypto. they did the same thing with to the court system in argentina at they're really targeting latin america to go after places like this with, you know, the protection is less. so the bottom line is the people who have been compromised with their personal information out there. >> what should they do? another one is if you have any business with the with that with that city, just change your password. make sure that the past what it is is because it's already there and their hands. number 2 is monitor your financial accounts. see anything suspicious callan, to freeze your your your your credit. make sure that you watch it, at least for the for the rest of this year to make sure that nothing happened because what they have done is face to a friend. some attacked. but the city did not pay them. and now they say they're going to leak this information to show you that we have information. we're going to force you to pay us. and that's that's how the rest of my works. well, professors, very frightening for all of us. not just who are dealing with a government level, but
8:36 pm
certainly as individuals, but we appreciate your recommendations and advice and, >> you know, we'll probably have you back again to talk more about how we can protect ourselves. thank you. thank you. back. time now for our 4 zone forecast says we'll give you a live look at the bucky ball at the embarcadero in the exploratorium were. >> we're waiting for the turn in the weather our chief meteorologist lawrence karnow standing by. with the weather warning. yeah, here we go. we've got more showers out there right now. another band of rain about to push on shore. these might contain some thunderstorms. see there is in yellow and orange there. so don't be surprised to see some lightning out there tonight. maybe some hail out there, some brief periods, some downpours that cold air continuing to rotate on shore. you can just see it really nothing to stop and not really well those stronger band. >> is likely to move in tuesday night into wednesday. and that will keep things going to have this cold air in place last 3 weeks or so. and now we're going to see a looks like it and to the least the cold air. but all of a sudden we start to latch onto little subtropical moisture. watch
8:37 pm
what happens here. here's that cold, massive. they're rotating off our coastline. watch the south. now you'll see suddenly the subtropical moisture here comes begin to merge right out of the hawaiian islands. all of a sudden he gets caught up in the circulation. here comes racing toward the bay area. there you go. all of a sudden we get back in the atmospheric river event and we're talking about some excessive rainfall as we head into thursday, very heavy rainfall into friday morning. i think tapering off by friday afternoon, but a couple more posters come by in the saturday into sunday and then another strong atmospheric and then possibly coming in late monday into tuesday, keeping very wet throughout the bay area. we've got a very stormy period ahead coming our way. but that's what more flooding around the bay area looks like to list lift the snow level to about 8,000 feet. so we could be talking about a snow melt, causing flooding issues as well. so next few days plan on the showers on and off. they getting a little bit warmer. but the atmospheric river roles in very heavy rainfall thursday and friday.
