The Obama Administration is overhauling the security clearance system used to screen called the National BackgroundInvestigations Bureau which will be designed and run by the pentagon. The overhaul comes after last years huge data breach where hackers working for a Foreign Government believed to be china downloaded nearly 22 million personnel files. There is no word on when the new system will come online. Meantime, private u. S. Companies are also feeling the heat from chinas online espionage. Lesley stahl reports for 60 minutes. Theyre targeting private companies. Not a fair fight. A private company cant compete against the resources of the second largest economy in the world. Reporter the assistant attorney general for cyberattacks and increasingly economic espionage. This is a serious threat to our national security. Our economy depends on ability to innovate. If there is a dedicated nation apparatus to steal day in, day out what we are frying to develop. Reporter what is their ultimate goal, chinese governments ultimate goal . They want to develop certain segments of industry and instead of trying to out innovate, outresearch, outdevelop, they are choosing to do it through theft. Reporter all you have to do he says is look at the economic ans published periodically by e chinese politboro. Ey are according to the report, invent ip, in effect blue prints of what industries and what companies will be targeted for theft. We see them put out the strategic plan. Then we see actions follow that plan. We see, intrusion after intrusion on u. S. Companies. Do you have of a number of u. S. Companies that have been hit . It is thousand of actually companies. Thousand of u. S. Companies. Reporter getting ceos from the companies to talk is impossible. Most have business in china and dont want to be cut of of its huge market. Daniel mcgann, head of american super conductor is an exception. His firm spent years and millions developing advanced Computer Software for Wind Turbines that mcgann says china looted nearly putting him of business. He is talking because he wants to fight back. I am personally never going to give this up. Too many lives were affected. Too many families were damaged through this. We can never give of on this. Reporter you had to fire 600 people. Yes. Reporter out of how many jobs . At the time we were almost 900. So how much did you lose in share value . Total loss is well over 1 billion. Reporter today his factory floor is largely silent. A shadow of the once thriving company. I think part of the strategy in all of this was to kill us. Reporter set out to kill you . Reporter how can he be sure . Well his story begins when china passed a Clean Energy Law in 2005 calling for creation of mega wind farms throughout the country. The law made china the hottest wind power market in the world. So mcgann partnered with a Small Chinese firm, sinovel partly owned by the government. Sinovel made skeletons of the turbines and american superconductor, the gadgetry and computer code to run them. They actually built the turbine. They make the turbine we make the controls. Did they make the turbines with your brains in them . For the entire country of china . Yes. Reporter when he went into business there, china was American Intellectual property. So he says he did everything he could think of to protect his technology from being stolen. We made sure that any software, any, any pieces of the code, were restricted and used, to be able to be accessed by a few people within the company. Reporter once they got everything over there, couldnt they reverse engineer it . We believe thats what nay tried to do. What they learned the encrypted protocol was in the way didnt understand how it worked couldnt reverse engineer it. Everybody knows if it is on the internet some brilliant hacker can get at it . It wasnt accessible through the internet. You kept it off the internet . Yes. It sound look you built a little fortress around your, your precious codes. We certainly tried. Reporter initially business boomed in china for american superconductor with sales skyrocketing from 50 million a year to nearly half a billion. We were going through exponential growth. It is what every Technology Company wants to get to. We were there. Reporter then in 2011, his engineers were testing the next Generation Software in china on sinovels turbines. The Software Programmed to shut down after the test. But the blade didnt shut down they never stopped spinning. So we said why . We didnt really know. The team looks at the turbine and saw running on our hardware a version of software that had not been released yet. Thats when you realized. Realized something is wrong. So then we had to figure out how could this have happened. Reporter to find out he launched an internal investigation and narrowed it done to this man, an employee of american superconductor based in austria. He was one of the few people in the company with access to its proprietary software. He also spent a lot of time of in china working with sinovel. What they did is they used cold war era spy craft to be they turned him. And make him into an agent for them. Do you know any specifics what they offered him . Offered him women. Offered him an apartment, money. A new life. Reporter the arrangement included a 1. 7 Million Contract that was spelled out in emails and instant messages that mcganns investigation found on his company computer. In this one, from him to a sinovel executive, he lays out the quid pro quo. All girls need money. I need girls. Sinovel needs me. Sinovel executives showered him with flattery. Encouragement, you are the best man like superman. Man lake superman. Did they say we want the source codes . All most like a grocery list. Can you get us a, can you get us b, can you got us c . I have seen one of the messages, text message. In which he says, i will send the full code of course. Their wind turbine. He eventually confessed to authorities in austria. And spent a year in jail. Not surprisingly, the chinese authorities refused to investigate. So, Daniel Mcgann filed suit in civil court in china. Suing sinovel for 1. 2 billion. He suspected china was still spying on his company. And that beijing had switched from cold war to cutting edge espionage. You can see Lesley Stahls full report on our web site. Cbsnews. Com.

This may have been Peyton Mannings most satisfying victory in a long, storied, nfl career.

The storm is blamed for at least 45 deaths in 11 states. Mostly from Car Accidents and snow shoveling. Nearly 27 inches of snow rose on the sidewalks of new york. Parts of washington got 22. But glen gary, west virginia, population 277 takes the prize with 42 inches. On the blizzard of 16. First kris van cleave in d. C. Be careful reporter washington, d. C. s government is using everything its got to dig the city out of nearly 2 feet of snow. Man, machine, even bigger machine to scoop it up and haul it away. In some areas it barely made a difference. People were told to stay home. Many schools remain closed until at least wednesday. Some streets have yet to be touched by snowplows. D. C. s metro worked to clear the tracks as it tries to restore full service sometime tuesday. We want the city back now. Just like everybody else does. Reporter Emergency Management director, chris geldart. You look at manhattan got more snow than d. C. And they in much quicker order were back to school in session, roads being clear, there is more that should have been done here in the district . Here in the district, we know our conditions and what our roadways look like and for our residents and children out there make here. Reporter Robert Greffenius wife is 39 weeks pregnant. He spent the day shoveling a path to the car. At what point does it stop being fun . Uh, about 20 minutes ago, probably. Reporter one block over, the only thing moving was a snowloving dog. Mara fedele, a bit of an island surrounded by a sea of snow. Somebody needed to gipt. Ambulance, firetruck, doesnt look like any time soon. Reporter in the suburbs where more snow fell, 70yearold Steve Melnikoff spent five hours, shoveling his driveway when a plow left him this. I am almost so outraged by the state, libel to have a stroke thinking abut it rather than shoveling it. Reporter the city admits it could take all week to finish the cleanup. The snow they have removed ends up here. And there is a lot of it but the big unanswered question here, commuters come back to work. Scott, another snowinduced gridlock could take frayed patience and turn night anger. The mayor announced the government will open tomorrow. Schools on wednesday. Thanks very much. In new york, the biggest snowfall ever in a single day. David begna has found it is a royal pain in the borough of queens. David.

But the streets of maspeth in queens are not among them. Gino fazos sent 30 employees home for unpaid day off. We dont understand why always this area neglected every time there is a major storm.

You can get around the city by and large. Lot to be proud of. If im living on one of the blocks i am going to be upset. I want to get my block cleared.

Scott, so much snow left to shovel, the city is hiring emergency shovellers the if you are 18, employable and willing to work for 13. 50 an hour. They want you. Thank you very much. Speaking of queens the two big airports there, la guardia and j. F. K. Had 400 Flights Canceled today. But that is down from 1,300 yesterday. Since friday the blizzard forced cancellation of more than 13,000 flights. Throughout the country. It may be that the biggest destruction was along the jersey shore. Which was inundated at high tide. And Jericka Duncan is there. Reporter this is what West Wildwood avenue looked like when the storm hit. 2 feet of water flooded homes and businesses. In nearby cape may, there were record tides. More than a half a foot higher than when Superstorm Sandy hit in 2012. Yes. Reporter sue maxwell of wildwood says she ran to a neighbors house. I could hear gurgling, and the water rushed up, didnt come in, it came up. Reporter all along the shore, the powerful storm surge slammed many coastal communities. Drivers were left stranded as chunks of ice floated down the streets. Close to 100 people were evacuated. Even army humvees at times the only vehicles that could roll through. On sunday, governor Chris Christie gave an early assessment. The high tide this morning was survived very well by the people in cape may county. Only minor to moderate flooding. Mostly street flooding. We dent see any significant Property Damage happening in cape may county. Reporter turns out christie spoke too soon. Today his lieutenantgovernor, kim gaudagno had to clarify for her boss. Was there more damage that you and the governor originally thought along the shore . When you have really ugly tides. That doesnt make it any easier on anybody. I lived through sandy. I lost half my house in sandy. I know how hard it is for people down here. Reporter several Emergency ManagementOfficials Say it is still too early to know the full extent of the damage. Scott, thats because they say about half the properties along the shore are vacant until the spring. Jericka duncan reporting. Thank you. Will be right back. Well today president obama all but endorsed Hillary Clinton. Seven days before the first this may be one reason why our new cbs news Battleground Tracker poll in iowa shows clinton and Bernie Sanders essentially in a dead heat. Here is nancy cordes. Lets go get them. Reporter with a week to go, Bernie Sanders is trying to emulate president obamas winning formula from eight years ago down to the feelgood ads, and army of young volunteers. We are from the Bernie Sanders campaign. Reporter in a pod cast interview with politico, the president rejected the comparison. No, i dont think that is true. And gushed about his former secretary of state. Saying her skills are being overlooked. She has been in the public eye for a long time and in a culture in which new is always better. Right. And you know, you are always looking at the bright, shiny object that people dont, reporter that bright, shiny object has convinced 85 of Iowa Democrats that he understand how they feel. Compared to 65 who say that about clinton. In iowa falls today, Kerry Aldridge opened to sanders about her struggle to get by. Im waiting for disability to come through. So my parents have to support me. Its just so hard. Thank you. Thank you. We are one week away. Reporter it is clinton who has won the endorsement of iowas largest newspaper. She is not a perfect candidate. The Des Moines Register says, but no other candidate can match the depth or breadth of her knowledge or experience. An argument clinton makes at every stop. We need a president who understand and can do all parts of the job. President obama isnt officially endorsing either candidate. Where he stands. Calling clinton wicked smart and saying she was a fierce competitor in 2008 who like Ginger Rogers had to do everything he did just backwards and in heels. The old ross perot line from 92. Nancy, thank you very much. The race among the republicans nearly as close. Our Battleground Tracker poll shows donald trump ahead of ted cruz, but within the polls margin of error. Here is major garrett. Were in the final sprint. 172 hours. Reporter ted cruz and donald trump locked in a bitter fight for first in iowa. Cruz tried to lighten the mood with a joke about trumps recent erroneous effort to second corinthians as 2 corinthians. Well, two corinthians walk into a bar. Reporter there is nothing light about this ad questioning trumps credentials. Respect. Does this sound conservative. I am prochoice in every respect. Reporter trump hid cruz saying he would not support him as the the gop nominee. I wouldnt vote for him. I can tell you that. Reporter trump reversed course on backing cruz and offered this odd praise of his loyalists. I have the most loyal people. Did you seefr that. Where i could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody. I wouldnt lose any voters, okay, like incredible. I will introduce someone who is very near and dear to my heart. Reporter iowa, joni ernst appeared with marco rubio. It gave momentum to a campaign vying for a strong third in her home state. She made a propmise. I respect that. I was glad she was here to introduce us to the people of iowa. Rubio supporters, define a strong finish in iowa anything above 15 . Scott, that is a figure they bush, christie and kasich and give him a shot at second place in new hampshire. Major investigate, thanks. Another new york billionaire, flirting with the president ial run, former mayor michael bloomberg, democrat turned republican, turned independent. So we will turn to our cbs news political director and anchor of face the nation john dickerson. What do we know about bloombergs plans . He is seriously considering jumping into the race. Long wanted to run for president. He would run if it looks like it is going to be a general election race between donald trump or ted cruz and Bernie Sanders. He believes those representatives of the wings of the two parties would create an appetite for a candidate in the middle who is fiscally conservative and socially liberal. The challenge is to collect the signatures to get on ballot process starts march 1. There may not be a clear signal about either party by that date. He has no party the he has no organization. He would have to build all of that from scratch. Democrats and republicans start with a huge lead in Electoral College votes in a lot of the states that traditionally vote for those parties. Bloomberg would have to compete on a much bigger Playing Field than democrats or republicans because he starts with no states in his column. And that kind of a campaign would require a brushfire, tended by a charismatic politician who could rouse people and keep them excited for months. Thats not the kind of politician he is. He is more known for his policy ideas than his stirring speeches. John dickerson, anchor of face the nation. Watching you sunday. Thank you, john. Late today in houston, a grand jury investigating allegations of wrongdoing by planned parenthood, didnt find any. Instead, the jury indicted planned parenthoods accusers.

Reporter el nino powered storms, high surf and heavy rains destructive along much of the california coast this year. But nowhere has the damage been more threatening than in pacifica. I love it here. This has been my dream all my life to live by the ocean. Like right by it. Reporter pacifica has seen it all before. In 1998, the last time, major el nino storms hit california. The bluffs here eroded so quickly. Residents fled before one home other houses were knocked down before they too fell off the cliff. In 2010, two of the Apartment Buildings on the bluff were evacuated and condemned. The building condemned today seemed safer until the cliff again began falling away. The powerful winter storms that have been hitting california are predicted to continue into march. Thats good news for easing the drought, scott, but bad news for places like pacifica, threatened by coastal erosion. John blackstone reporting. John, thank you.
