Abcs Pierre Thomas joins us now with all of the details. Pierre good morning. Reporter good morning, amy. This is a massive breach one of the biggest ever affecting a health care company. Heres why millions of those anthem customers have good reason to be concerned. The hackers stole dates of birth, Social Security number home addresses, details about employment all the kinds of information that could be used in identity theft. Law enforcement sources tell me once this data is stolen by hackers they often sell it to criminals on the black market. There is a huge underground market for exactly this kind of information. So that criminals can assume the identities of innocent people so now customers have to be on alert working with credit Monitoring Companies to make sure their information is not being used to steal. What a pain amy. What a pain indeed. Pierre thanks. To a School Shooting in maryland. Two teenagers shot and wounded during a basketball game. It happened outside Frederick High School while hundreds of students were attending the game inside. The sound of gunfire sent them running for cover. Its unclear what sparked the shooting.

Experts admit they cannot prove it without a brain scan. A new concern for the economy this morning. Dozens of ports from san diego to seattle could shut down as early as next week. Now the longrunning contract talks for the port workers have failed to result in a deal. A work stoppage could cost the economy 2 billion per day. A wild chase in fresno from the Highway Patrol plane trying to catch two men in a stolen truck. The driver speeds through neighborhoods before crashing into a fence and then both men take off on foot. Eventually as what usually happens, the police and a canine catch up to one of them. The other man trying to hide under a car, guess what they found him too. Both of them under arrest. And finally some dramatic video of an avalanche in the mountains of Eastern Europe.

Now to the growing Measles Outbreak. An alarming new report revealing dangerously high numbers of preschoolers are not vaccinated in 17 states. Health Officials Say that puts all children at risk and abcs dr. Richard besser has the latest. Good morning, rich. Good morning, robin. There are now 102 cases of measles in 14 states and the numbers in california are rising the most. Some of those infections are even occurring in children whose parents tried to protect them by getting them vaccinated on time. This morning, with fears over the Measles Outbreak growing, officials in Los Angeles County are calling for tougher laws to stop people from refusing to get the measles vaccine. I encourage everyone in a position to influence decisions about vaccination to review the evidence. Reporter 19 states still allow parents to opt out of vaccine requirements for philosophical reasons and a new study finds in 17 states fewer than 90 of preschoolers get the measles vaccination. The numbers alarming. Especially with 102 cases of measles across the u. S. California experiencing its largest Measles Outbreak in more than 15 years. In one confirmed case an infant at a Child Care Center at Santa Monica High School exposed dozens of other babies. Now all are in quarantine. The superintendent of the School District warning in a letter wednesday when the center reopens all parents must show proof of protection from the measles. The message is that vaccine is the best way to protect against the current outbreak. But in some cases even the vaccines may not be enough. 95 of children are protected by just of the two recommended measles shots. But Christie Mullins fears her 16monthold daughter may be infected already despite getting the first dose. She was really sick and had a fever of 102 and doesnt get sick. Reporter doctors tested her for measles. The mullens, nervously awaiting the results. And, rich even if your child is vaccinated you need to know whats going on in their school. Some data is phitening. Schools where 30 to 40 of the children are not vaccinated against measles and that puts even those children who are vaccinated at some level of risk. When you look at the number, if you said 100 people if they are vaccinated and are exposed to measles, only 1 out of the 100. If 100 are not vaccinated 90. This is one of the best vaccines we have so her story is rare. But there is some level of risk there. If you dont get vaccinated 90 out of 100 will get it. Fully vaccinated. 1 out of 100 will get it. Youre going to be back on twitter all morning. Answering your questions. Thanks. You know im going to take it from you. You know a lot of people out there doing like this with their eyes because we showed you that polar bear on the streets of london that have so many doing a double take and it looks so real but its just a very lifelike puppet and abcs lama hasan has more on why its on the loose. Reporter in life you never know whats going to creep up on you so what do you do when you come facetoface with a terrifying eightfoot polar bear. Hold on folks. No need to panic. The is more to this ferocious predator than meets the eye. He may walk like a bear even talk like a bear. But ralph, yes, thats right, his name is ralph is actually two guys called tom and derek in a 44pound fur coat. When im in there, when im doing little snips and senatorsnorts like a bear its very un digdignify undignified. Reporter with 19 months of work and 120 square feet of fur ralph was created by the uk network sky to promote its new arctic crime thriller fortitude set to air in the u. S. We start with the concept which is two guys puppeteering a creature. Reporter and who doesnt love puppets from the stage show war horse to the super bowl. When youre making these things you really dont know until at the end if its going to work. Reporter now ralph has become something of a superstar himself. A track attracting a curious crowd. Hes pretty much conquered the world already. Reporter lock your doors. Ralph could be coming to a town near you. For good morning america, lama hasan, abc news london.

Word just coming in that military jets from jordan have bombed a city in syria that is a key isis stronghold. This comes just days after isis released a video showing the brutal murder of a jordanian pilot. Today jordans king paid respects to the pilots family while vowing to wage a, quote, harsh war against isis. And major developments in voer escalating conflict. Nato is expected to make its biggest move since the cold war to boost its military presence in Eastern Europe as fighting rages in eastern ukraine. Ashton carter president obamas choice to become the next defense secretary said he is inclined to supply weapons to ukrainian forces. A cyberattack at the nations second Largest Health insurer exposed the personal information of up to 80 million people. Anthem says the breach was sophisticated with hackers able to access names, addresses and Social Security numbers of customers and employees. Well an emptyhanded robber is on the loose. Take a look at this. It happened in miami beach. He tries to take the purse from that woman, but she is not letting go. He even drags her across the parking lot. Shes holding on to that purse and guess what score one for the woman. He gives up and takes off without the purse. Samaritans rushed in to help that woman. And finally, it wasnt a criminal that forced police in texas to shut down a major highway. It was this young lady. A terrier who apparently lost her way. She was not easy to round up but the Police Officer was smart. He said he had a treat and he eventually lured her into his car but that was nothing compared to this ordeal that officers in utah faced. They could not corral a black pomeranian. Do you see him there . He is literally having so much fun darting in and out of all those cars that have stopped on his behalf. The median 30 minutes later the dogs owner finally shows up and took his puppy home. Dare i say that puppy is in the doghouse. Yeah. The difference between that first and second puppy.

My team has been very busy. There you see me wearing my mon monacle and my hat. Valentines day is coming. This is the love edition of the pop news investigation. A new study revealing who may be the luckiest involved. It turns out its emoji users. Match. Com kicked in on this one, their dating survey which happens annually revealed Something Interesting that i thought about having received some of these from you. Turns out that people who use more emojis in their Text Messages also have more reason to do that little smiley face because they have more active sex lives according to the study. It also found those that punt wait with little characters dont look at me like that robin roberts, go on more dates and two times more likely to get married. Next time someone sends you a smiley face now you know why theyre smiling. Are you kidding me . What does it say about if you see me in that hat that means its an investigation. And its true. And its true. I dont know what that says. Oh boy. Smiling too, right . Finally, love this story. Only february but so far the dad of the year goes to dad wickherst.

On that note smiley faces to everybody. Especially for our junior meteorologists. Yes. Take it away kids. Go ahead. Lets take a live look at boston. And todays temperature is 34. Now lets time out the storm. Ginger. Well of course we have boston. You guys were just talking about it. Did such a great job. Meteorologists dont read. We dont have a script. We just talk so i can say whatever i want right now. Isnt that exciting . Right here what youre seeing is the timing of the storm. Look right here. Temperatures behind it drop out. I mean tomorrow morning if yall are here still its going to be cold. Real quick, the temperatures there by early momg morning will feel like 4 good morning, washington. Afteter a mild day yesterday, teeratures are tumbling day. We hit our high in the early mornrning hours a those tempmperatures wilill be falling through the 30through the rest of the day. Strong winds will gu and that means that feel factorill stay the teens. Overght tonight, clear skies and cold tememperatures. Morrow, we s stay cold with partly cloudy skies and a high around 38. A brief form up on saturday before rain on sunday. And we want to wish a happy National Weather person day to all of the meteorologists out there. A lot of meteorologists arent on tv. The military airlines noaa nasa most of the people i graduated with did not go into tv. Happy meteorologist day to them. The heat index and how one teacher gave her students a valuable lesson about privacy proving nothing they post online is private. Becky worley has the story. Now we can communicate with pictures. Reporter snapchat. Despite the privacy firestorm when it came out in 2011 the fun is to send embarrassing pictures. Reporter a teacher wanted to create a experiment to teach a hard lesson to her class of 9 and 10yearolds and had them use snapchat then she took a screen grab and posted it to facebook and twitter asking people to reshare with their locations. One friend posted it then another and then the exponential growth led to almost 27,000 shares on facebook alone. The fact that it went viral i think shocked them just as much as it shocked myself really. Were seeing the first few generations that have the same ideas about what they should keep private. Reporter now, snapchat says the photos are deleted but all you have to do is press this button and this button on your phone and have a screen grabs that lasts forever. If thats shared over a billion users. The sky is the limit on how widely it could spread. To fight this oversharing snapchat now notifies users when a screen grab has been taken but savvy teens have found new ways to circumvent that. Snapkeep. Snapbox, snapspy. These all let you take a screen grab without sending a notification back to the person who sent you the photo. Some people online have altered the photo sammy shared with harsh messages even putting devil horns on her head. For all negative comments we had thousands of positives, as well and you cant please everybody and people will have an opinion. Reporter i say more power to you, mrs. Roukroft. She is teaching all of us parents that the talk about privacy in the internet needs to happen earlier than ever robin. All right. Becky, thank you for bringing that to us. We wish you were here to smell the roses, chocolate. Our confidential new series and this morning, were tackling the bick expenses of valentines day. Thats why we have all this here. Abcs Mara Schiavocampo shows us how we can save big. Reporter they say money cant buy love but on valentines day, all bets are off. Of course every girl loves red roses on valentines day. But whats not to love is the price. Love birds can expect a dozen of those big reds to be marked up between 20 and sometimes 50 valentines day week. One local florist coming out of the flower patch admitting its true. A dozen for 20. All year round might be a dozen for 25. Just to kind of balance out the increase that our suppliers price us at. Reporter and restaurants, couples tend to spend 70 more on february 14th than on a typical night out. Experts say partly due to those costly fixed price menus. Enter my valentine. Valentines savings guru. Tough to talk about finances and be romantic at the same time. Reporter tip number one, for flowers buy local and buy now. A lot of your local corner florists all have websites. You can lock your order in now and youre not going to deal with any of that surcharges. Reporter two, cook for your date. Reporter dinners can cost up upwards of 200 or you can do this. Look at this. You can cook this right in your own kitchen. Probably cost what 10. Reporter tip number three, do it yourself. Isnt your love going to find you cheap if you make them a card. This isnt really cheap. I would say this is heart felt. Reporter while the price of chocolate tens not to change highend Chocolate Covered Strawberries arent cheap. Up to 7 bucks each. Make them yourself. Less than 2 bucks. Valentines day savings worth writing home about. Happy valentines day. Here are my strawberries. They looked a lot better before we but them next to the professional ones and i made you a card delicious. You are my sunshine in the morning. Happy valentines day. Thank you. We should do this.

Beam going under the knife to look like their perfect selfies. They are inspired by the filtered photos on instagram. Abcs linzie janis has more. Reporter Natalie Portmans nose. Jennifer garners defined jaw. Angelina jolies lips but instead of bringing that some people are getting a bit more real. Now people are coming in with instagram filters. Reporter instagram setting off one of the hottest new trends in cosmetic surgery. Patients asking doctors to alter their appearance to make them look in real life like the selfies they take using one of the photo filters. Those filters capable of boosting selfie esteem. I tested them out. Willow making my face looking more defined. Early bird giving me a softer glow. Janet ross says she fell in love with the way she felt the amaro filter improved her snaps. I can totally post this because i look good. Im softer. Reporter the 47yearold asking her doctor to mimic the filter but make the result a little more permanent. I have the fillers in the sides here. On the lips a little bit and then the botox dr. Jonathan kaplan a Plastic Surgeon has been able to help many of his patients like ross ditch those instagram filters without going under the knife. The patients that are coming in with the filters from instagram are concerned about the wrinkles around their mouth, complexion and different blemishes and dark spots or red spots and great for them because you dont really need any surgical procedures for that. Some psychiatrists say this latest quest for selfie improvement could be dangerous. Filters are Something Special designed for a camera. Not a Plastic Surgeons fingers.

Bob on breaking bad bob odenkirk played the crooked attorney saul goodman and now bringing saul back in a new series called Better Call Saul and tells sauls story before he met walter white. I think id look guilty if i hired a lawyer. Actually its getting arrested that makes people look guilty. Even the innocent ones and innocent people get arrested every day and they find themselves in a little room with a detective who acts like hes their best friend talk to me he says. Help me clear this thing up. You dont need a lawyer. Only guilty people need lawyers answer boom, thats when it all goes south. Thats when you want someone in your corner who will fight tooth and nail. Lawyers, were like health insurance. Hope you never need it but man, objection, man, not having it, no. Well you got that pitch down bob, right there. Yeah. Thats his job. Now, this is actually saul before he is saul jimmy mcgill. Kind of a straight lawyer right . Hes trying to be a good person and to do things in a legitimate way. He has Natural Instincts that lead him the other direction. Its a real struggle. Its a real struggle for this character to do things on the up and up. Yeah. But hes trying and in the First Episode he was on breaking bad he says my name is james mcgill. So we already know he has a back story. You know obviously theres so much attention on social media because of the success of breaking bad and one woman actually on twitter wanted to know why should breaking bad fans tune in to this show . The number one reason is the star of the show is the writing. Vince gilligan who created breaking bad and period gould who wrote the First Episode that sauls the character of saul was in called Better Call Saul created this show. So its many of the same writers from breaking bad and all those great things that they know how to do which is get you hooked in and take you on a rollercoaster ride. I mean the First Episode which is this sunday ends with one of those great moments that you remember from breaking bad and when i read the script and i cant swear here or can i . You can try if you want. I went oh shgs shhh they can get you there. These storytellers can take you up and down and over and its so fun to be on that ride thats the similarities. How is it different . Its well this character is not under lifethreaten situations. Its a lighter show because of that. Its not there is a lot of talk about is it a comedy or a drama . Its a drama but its just kind of you smile through the whole thing because even though i play the character and i take his situation very seriously when im playing it when you watch it its so funny to see this guy just dig a hole and then dig a deeper hole and so youre enjoying his pain. Its a lot of fun. Well well give you a little pain right now. Throwback thursday. Well look back to what we think is your first appearance on national television. Oh my god. Saturday night live. Yeah there it is. You were a writer are to the show. Yeah. Me with a turtle with Lorne Michaels and, yeah i wrote for saturday night live for four years. It was my first big job and those kinds of parts are the hardest parts to do when you have one line or you are ee supposed to just hold the turtle and not drop it. Theres something that gets easier when you have a big monologue and you have some room to screw up and save yourself. You got plenty of opportunities for that in Better Call Saul. I really do.

Lets get you started with a check on the morning commute. I wanted to show our silver lining. A bit better on the beltway in Prince Georges County where we had big delays coming from branch avenue toward the Woodrow Wilson bridge. It is relaxing a bit, traffic leaving our screen. Not perfect, but Getting Better westbound on the freeway just as you come up to 11th Street Bridge, had some activity blocking the left side of the roadway. But directions to come inbound on the 11th Street Bridge 66 eastbound out of 123 traffic unaffected at this point. Give us are cold, bad news. It feels kind of brutal out there. We have an arctic front. Our temperatures have been falling ever since. The winds are gusty, so the feel factor is pretty cold. 12 in hagerstown and 23 in frederick. Feels like 28 agrees downtown degrees downtown. Our temperatures will continue to follow all day long. Upper 20s by late this afternoon with chills in the teens.
