Description

Russian military agents have hacked into Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company at the center of the scandal that led to President Trump’s impeachment. The tactics used were phishing emails used to steal login credentials and also gain access to one of Burisma’s servers. We still know very little about the information that was accessed, but any new information could impact the impeachment trial. Maggie Miller, cyber policy reporter at The Hill, joins us for more.




Next, a creepy airport story. A woman named Ashley Barno was boarding a flight at the San Diego International Airport when she began to receive flirty text messages from an unknown number. The texts soon turned out to be from an American Airlines employee who got her information off of her luggage bag tag. Barno is now suing the airline for negligent hiring, sexual harassment and stalking. Reis Thebault, reporter at the Washington Post, joins us for what all these texts said.




Finally, the Pentagon has confirmed that they do have Top Secret- classified briefings and Secret-classified video about the Nimitz UFO encounter. The Navy has said that a review of the materials determined that their release “would cause exceptionally grave damage to the National Security of the United States.” MJ Banias, contributor to Vice, joins us for the latest we are learning about the Nimitz UFO evidence.
