Anyone who thinks they may have been affected check on the companys web site. The founder of cyber scout, thank you for joining us adam.  thanks for inviting me. Why did they wait so long to let customers know. They are never sure depending on the database. How much people they have. It does take a little bit. I suspect it should have been faster. With a lot of these cases it should have been faster. The reality is we now have up to 143 Million People who clearly doesnt have their best interest in mind. Do you think the company may be neglect here . Maybing keeping that cash and putting into their own pockets . There is a wonderful quote by a Cyber Security person who once said, if you think that security or technology is the answer to your Security Problems you dont understand technology and security. Always be watching your systems. Be watching to see whether or not information has been infiltrated. A company can do everything right. All you need one person to click on the wrong link at the wrong moment and that one small moment of vulnerability can expose millions upon millions of people. I went to their web site last night and i typed in my digits the message said my data may have been impacted. Im guessing it probably was. What do i and millions of people in my boat do now . First you can sign up for the monitoring and Resolution Program that equifax is offering free. The problem with that it only lasts one year.

You need to check your accounts on a daily basis from Financial Institutions notifying you of activities in your accounts. You need to consider more monitoring. Not just one year, you need to do it on a permanent basis. What a lot of people dont know Many Insurance Companies and hr departments where we work offer programs sometimes for free to people who are their clients and customers through insurance policies, through Bank Programs or through Employee Benefit programs. Contact your insurance agencies and ask do you have a program. Am i in it . What is it going to cost me . If someone has your Social Security number you need access to a professional because it is highly likely you are going to have a problem at some point in your life. Dont assume because it doesnt happen in the first month or first year that it is not going to happen because it is out there now. Good tips. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you for inviting.

How one of the areas Biggest Companies is stepping in to help students in oakland. Reporter a commitment to the future. Thats what bay area is doing in oakland as the company is donating millions of dollars to the school district. This is something that some within the district is making drastic changes. We are able to move forward and move the ball down the field. Reporter last year the Company Allocated 2. 5 million to six of the districts middle schools. Thats where we start losing students. And so our funding has really gone to build out Computer Science programming, math programming, teacher training within the districts. Reporter for three years now daniel has taught Computer Science. When he first came to the district he said he struggled. That first year i was here i did not have a lot of support. I felt like an island on my own. Not many people knew what was happening. Reporter that changed with the influx of funding. Their brand provided money to six leaders. The test offer 100,000 of unrestricted. It is the volume deers and expertes. Reporter they adopted six model schools to a program called circle the schools. They really get to understand what a day in a life is for a student or an instructor in oakland. You can see what the challenge are within the school. For the students to see people that work in the industry and to realize that what they are doing here translates to a job out there. Reporter when the Program Began it was part of that partnership. Now it is expanded to 13 schools and may go further. We would like to continue our investment. And looking at our entry into middle school. They plan to donate money to the district again this year. The exact amount is still unknown.

The business of muni is serious business. So many people rely on the bus to get to a from. Im going to bring in julie who is director of operation. Im the chief transit officer. A lot of people rely on these buss to get to and from work. How do you keep this operating . We have thousands of really dedicated employees, operators, supervisors who Work Together deliver service. Reporter when a bus breaks down do you have buses that can come in . If a bus breaks down we try to get Replacement Service to minimize disruption to our customers. What do you look for in a bus . I just remember riding the 30 fillmore and standing up most of the time because they are so full. Do you look for handrails . We do. We try to get a bus that is well suited for San Francisco. One that can be safe and reliable. Our resent buses had a lot of input for people with disabilities. Reporter i meant 30 stockton, when the central starts running, is that going to be retired . We will run less. It will be an important route because it connects people from the marina, through china town. What are some of the ways what are some of the things you get input from your passengers . We go ahead feedback all the time on where we need more service. Where services is too slow. We try to react to that and provide Better Service every day. Reporter julie thank you very much. Coming up at 9 45 we will see some of the Historic Vehicles that ran on city streets. Some of them older than me, if you can believe that. Some of these buses ive been on. Especially that bus back there. We will talk more about that. That is coming up at 9 45. It is tomorrow and sunday from 10 005 00 it is being held on stewart street. Calling on all bus geeks. Members of the National Guard are heading to florida as hurricane barrels down on that state. Ktvu Crime Reporter joins us live of what he learned about the investigation. Good starts with g. Gloriously great tasting whole grains. Theyre whole every gram glistening with genuine golden honey. Its true real cocoa, Peanut Butter and cinnamon too. [glass breaks] oops sorry just gearing you up for good mornings and good afternoons. [cheers] [laughing] these whole grains will get you going good. Speaking of good. Try new Apple Cinnamon toast crunch. Lets start with an update on a developing story. That magnitude 8. 1 earthquake overnight. The death toll stands at 32. They do expect that number to grow as each victim is buried. They will reach more of them throughout the day. The earthquake is stronger of the 8. 0 that happened in 1985. This latest quake caused damage in guatemala and el salvador. There have been dozen of aftershocks. They are not a threat to hawaii or california. We do know a number of coastal communities were evacuated. At least 20 people have died from Hurricane Irma. The storm is headed toward florida. It has caused widespread destruction in the caribbean. It down graded to a category 4 but could become the worse Natural Disasters in u. S. History. People have been ordered to leave as irma gets closer. Heading into the path of the storm to help with rescues. It is leaving this morning. They just returned from texas helping after Hurricane Harvey. They rescued more than 100 people from floodwaters during that storm. We have been trained multiple times over to be always ready, always there and any environment, in any situation. With the assets and capabilities we bring to the table the rescue operations that will be taking place in florida. Members are being deployed along with two rescue helicopters and three airplanes. One person wont be leaving. A reporter in the miami area. She will be working 24 7 this weekend. Our station is actually on an island surrounded by water in the middle of a mandatory evacuation zone. Our building is very safe. It is solid concrete. I think we will be okay. She did her best to board up her home in florida. One in five people in texas had flood insurance. In florida fewer than half the homes are covered by flood insurance. Of course, here in california we are encouraged to have earthquake insurance. We have been asking you if you have been doing that in the ktvu question of the day. How prepared are you . 7 say you retro fitted your home, 80 of you say you have done nothing. A lot of people saying i would like to but it is too darn expensive. It should be made more affordable. Im with you on that one. Why is it so expensive, our level of preparedness. Thanks for joining us, glen. Thanks for having me. Is it true that 10 of homes in california have earthquake insurance . It is true. We read about the 8. 1 magnitude earthquake. We are going to have our own Hurricane Harvey only it is going to come in form of earthquake without warning. Why is it so expensive . The payment is about 2,000 a year for San Francisco and alameda counties. Earthquake insurance costs what the risks require it to cost. The cost is just a message how risky this potential event could be. California earthquake is not for profit we have lowered our rates since we were created 20 years ago. California set up this Insurance Company, we made rates a lot more affordable and flexible. Most folks havent checked us out lately. They will see it is a lot less expensive than they thought. They need to focused on the fact they are completely on their own. If we had an earthquake in the bay area strong to similar the one in mexico and Central America saw an 8. 1. Is there an assumption that the federal government is in the money giving business. Fema does a great job, they will help out. Is there an assumption they will help me out . That is an assumption. It is false hope and it is dangerous. There is federal assistance. It is in the form of first response. It doesnt rebuild homes. So hundreds f of thousands of people are faced with the harsh reality they dont have flood insurance. Think of the dreams that get washed away in a flood. Thats all gone. You have no Insurance Protection to rebuild. Thats why it is so important you need to focus here in california that earthquake is not covered in the homeowner policy. Not for profit Insurance Company has these flexible and more affordable rates. You need to give it another look. Im not going to buy the insurance but im going to retrofit. It will make your home safer. If you live in an older home and get it retrofitted you are more likely to survive the earthquake. It will increase your odds of not getting seriously injured. Retrofitted is very important. There are many that were strengthen. We need to do everything we can to get those homes retrofitted. You can lower the policy up to 20 . Once we retro fitted we were out of money. We wanted to get something we could hold for the money we were able to invest. Im sorry. Retro fitting is great you priced a lot of people out of the whole equation. Go to the web site and see. It is much flexible and affordable. You retrofit your home you can lower the cost of 20 . You worry about being out of money which is an important thing to worry about. It is just it is important to take steps to be prepared. People just shouldnt assume. They are in the drivers seat to make the choices or get the preyum they can afford it. It is worth peeking at. Thanks for taking the time. Thanks so much. We do get letters take a second look. So we keep looking like i said we wanted a sure thing. Lets check in with rosemary who is joining us. People in south florida, really the whole state worried about flooding. It is very worrisome. We will be tracking it over the weekend. Here at home we will warm it up. It is going to be temporary. Lets take a look outside our doors. Mostly gray skies. As we get into the afternoon, pulling back here is a look at the temperatures right now. 60s out there. 60s in oakland. Partly to mostly cloudy skies around the bay and along the coast. Today will be the coolest day of the next few days. Take a look at the cloud cover. It will back off. Mostly sunny skies. This system off the coast is going to continue to be with us so to speak. It is going to move south and then it will move inland and in the extended forecast you could see bring us a little bit of rain. Lets talk about your friday here. Mostly sunny skies a ways from the coastline today. Temperatures are going to be warming into the upper 80s for our warmer locations. Mid70s expected. 70 degrees for your afternoon high. Here is the view of the warm up coming our way. Upper 80s in the forecast by saturday. Perhaps nearing the century mark by sunday. Dramatic change coming our way. As we get into monday tuesday we will cool it back down and maybe see what we saw yesterday with drizzle and scattered showers. It feels like fall all of a sudden. The warm up and the cool down. Thank you, rosemary. This morning we are following the case of a veteran fire captain who is facing charges of child porn. Hundreds of images were found in his personal laptop. He wore a yellow jail jumpsuit to face two felony charges possessing and distributing child porn. He said the children and the images are victims and extremely damaged. The images in this crime are young as the age of 12 and toddlers as well. This is someone in our community downloading this and copying this. Reporter he was arrested wednesday night at his home in lafayette. This is a picture from his linkedin page. A county Internet Crime task force launched an investigation. Investigators had search warrants at his home and the fire station where he worked in oakland. The fire station is right across the street from the family justice center. It creates more of a market and we need to stop this to protect our children in our communities. He has been placed in administrative leave. If the allegations are true, this criminal behavior violates our Community Standard of decency. Henry joining us live in the studio. Charged with sharing more than 600 images. That is one of the primary reasons the judge ruled on the request to be released from his attorney but not to release him. Was it the amount of images . We have images of these children who are themselves often victims of abuse and other things. Of the images, did you learn anything in regards are these children that he knows . We dont think he actually victimized these children. They are children that are less than 12 and some of toddlers. Talk to me about the laptop. I know they searched his home in lafayette. Talk to me about what they had been found on. He would bring it to work and probably bring it to home as well. He is accused of sending 200 images to an undercover deputy. They go after a lot of people that have had these child porn images. We saw the response from the interim chief. Did you get any mood from other firefighters . We dont want any bad apples. One person does not represent the entire organization. They are as concerned as the fire chief. Very disturbing. Thank you, henry. A new documentary release. The man in the red bandana and the lives he saved while giving his own. A look at some of the Transit Agency as muni celebrates 100 years of service. Food. Water. Internet. We need it to live. But what we dont need are surprises, like extra monthly fees. I see you, fee, played by legendary actress anjelica huston. You got me, mark. We just want fast internet for one, simple rate. For all the streaming and the shopping and the newsing, but most of all. For the this. Internet for one everyday simple price and no extra monthly fees. This week is the 100 anniversary of muni bus services. Very cool. Sal joining us at one of the muni yards. I remember one of the first muni i got on. Reporter you know the first bus i took was probably the 14 mission. I didnt graduate until much later. The president of the Market Street railway. You are a Historical Organization who tries to keep munis history. We support them most streetcars and cable cars. This year we are celebrating the muni bus. The muni bus, i want to show this as we are talking here. I know that some of these buses still run in service from time to time. You have to keep them moving to keep them restored. Now that we see how beautiful they clean up, we are hoping they go out a little more often. Today several of these buses that you see now are going to be out on the seven line. Reporter so what does it take to keep these buses . Not only do you have to keep them but you also have to get parts for these old vehicles. How hard is that . If you look at that the oldest bus. We found a similar bus in the santa cruz mountain. We towed it up here. He paid to have it come up and you know, we took the engine out of that bus to put in this bus. We are always looking for parts and looking something to help muni to do their job. Mike, one of our anchors we were reminiscing one of the first bus. One of the 11 i road was that 49er bus. Im not sure we are showing it here. We are showing it. That bus used to go to candlestick. We all have this memory growing up in San Francisco. When people see these vehicles what do they tell you . It is a little bit of a Twilight Zone experience. It is a shock of recognition that they didnt expect to see. I think we are masters at preserving our past and bring these vehicles on the street. I think it delights old time San Francisco yans and new arrivals. Reporter one of the things i learned, i know muni has a policy wherever they get rid of a fleet of buses they will hold one back. One of those buses will be held so that 30 years from now that one can run as a historic vehicle. We think that is a great policy. Storage is always and issue in San Francisco but it is worthwhile. Future generations will have the same memories of some of these buses we had. Reporter if you are a bus geek, and i am admitting i am a bus geek. This weekend is ill be there and i think you might have some good maybe let that soak in for a year. I remember 0. 25. Get me to the portal as quickly as you can.

Several people said the man saved their lives. Reporter when creator matthew heard the story. He knew he had to make a story about it. He never made a movie before. He felt it was his calling to do so. It has taken more than six years. It is open across the country. I said Everyone Needs to hear it and im going to figure out a way to make this film. He was working on the south tower when they were struck by planes. He managed to save people. When you hear what wells did on that day, you cant help but be inspired and up lifted. He put out fires. He got people out. Reporter the people who he saved recount that day. They fill in the final moments that her son was alived. I was very moved. There are parts that are very hard to see. But it is what the story was. And so i i was really so happy and pleased that the film came out as it did. Reporter knowing he died doing what he loved, being a firefighter has helped allison cope with the loss of her son. It is a story about supreme humanity and encourage but also love that he would not think about himself and want to be out there saving as many people as possible.
