captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> pelley: good evening. private information about millions of americans is in the hands of cyber thieves tonight. they broke into a database at this country's second largest health insurancer. it's called anthem, and it runs blue cross blue shield plans in more than a dozen states. the company says that database contains 80 million records including names, birth dates and social security numbers. a gold mine for identity thieves and con artists. it is not known if the hackers got health records. kris van cleave begins our coverage. >> reporter: anthem was one of thousands of health care companies warned twice last year by the f.b.i. that their industry was particularly vulnerable to hackers. in 2014, there were 42 cyber attacks targeting health providers, compared to just five in 2010. in this document, the f.b.i. cited the industry's lack cyber-security standards and said they were being targeted for a list of reasons. jim trainor is second in command at the f.b.i.'s cyber division. >> one was the-- kind of the shifting of records from paper to digital format, which creates the opportunity now for cyber criminals to obtain and go after these records. >> reporter: the f.b.i. also warned on the black market criminals will now pay much more for personal health information called p.h.i. credit cards can be say $5 or more, where p.h.i. records can go from $20-- we've seen it going higher, $60, $70. >> reporter: the data is so valuable because it can be used to build a strong fake identity or sold to criminals for insurance and bilge scams. dr. robert wa is the president of the american medical association. >> if you lose your credit card, we all know you call 1-800-i lost my card and they turn your credit card off. there is no one-800-i lost my health record and you can turn off all that rich information in your health record. >> reporter: a 2014 survey of health care professionals found half spent 3% or less of their technology budget on cyber-security. experts tell cbs news the standard is 10%. do you worry about the security of your own health records? >> i do. >> bob turner's company rates cyber-security. >> it is performing at the bottom of other industries. if you'd like a letter grade for that it's certainly in the c-or dnchts. >> reporter: sources tell cbs news this attack involved custom malware and sources also say the f.b.i. is looking into the possibility of attack came from overseas, possibly china. >> pelley: kris van cleave with the news tonight. kris, thank you very much. we were surprised to see this today, the eight biggest hack attacks ever in the united states have all occurred in the last two years. jeff pegues now on the cyber crime wave. >> reporter: as this map from cyber-security firm fire eyes shows, every second there is a cyber crime attempt somewhere in the world. the the anthem attack is the latest in a string of cyber assaults on large corporations. sony target, neiman marcus, e-bay, home depot, and j.p.morgan chase are among the companies who have had employee and customer data stolen. some of those data include credit and debit card information and social security numbers. in just those cases alone, more than 300 million people may have been affected, and the breaches could lead to financial losses and identity theft. the average annual cost of cyber crime to a u.s. organization is nearly $13 million. 96% more than what it was five years ago. but what really adds up is the cost of preventing hacks. patrick mcbride is vice president of cyber-security firm eyesight. >> a lot of these companies have spent millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions even on people and technology to try to thwart this but they still haven't been able to clamp down on it. >> reporter: so even that amount of money is not enough to stop this from happening? >> it isn't. >> reporter: cyber criminals often operate in places like russia or china where the u.s. government can't readily arrest them. the f.b.i.'s new cyber crime headquarters was running down leads last year when "60 minutes" cameras were allowed in. it was the first look at how the c.i.a. n.s.a., and other agencies work to track down cyber suspects, some of whom have been on the run for nearly five years. industry experts have called 2014 the year of the hack, and it could be more of the same in 2015. scott, consumers are being advised to pay close attention to their financial statements and credit reports. >> pelley: jeff, thank you. in another hacking casualty today, amy pascal announced her resignation as cochair of sony pictures. perhaps the most powerful woman in hollywood pascal saw her sensitive e-mails about stars and president obama dumped into public view. the f.b.i. says the hack came from north korea, which was angered by a sony movie about the assassination of its dictator. tonight, european leaders and secretary of state john kerry are in ukraine to stop a revolution. the white house is considering sending weapons to ukraine to fight the rebels in the eastern part of the country rebels who are backed by russia. elizabeth palmer discovered what the ukrainians are up against. >> reporter: to the ukrainian army, this road is everything right now. it's their only supply line to the epicenter of heavy fighting where they're under blistering attack from russian-backed separatists. we're about 10 miles north of the front line. there's very little civilian traffic. most people have left, and there's almost constant exchange of heavy artillery fire. the ukrainians are dug in on both sides of the road, concealed behind trees and wrecked buildings. we were invited on to their bases on condition we didn't reveal their locations. lieutenant sergei was a lawyer in kiev until he joined up just two months ago. how did that happen? >> when i saw on tv -- >> reporter: the war? >> yeah, war children, i can't stay at home. >> reporter: so you came back as an officer. >> yeah. >> reporter: today with the artillery booming close by, his unit received maps from army s.o.s., a group that delivers donations to the military. the soldiers are short some things, they told us, but they are not desperate for high-tech american weapons. do you need help from the united states? >> not military yes. >> reporter: what they do need is a completely revamped army. deep-rooted corruption and neglect meant that these men just got a few weeks of basic training before they were flung into this. and behind the lines, they say the army is failing. anton, a volunteer, tells us the men in his unit lack everything from clear orders to the right salary. his message is not for the u.s. but for ukraine's president-- stop lying to us. the bottom line, though, scott is that these men are facing russia's military might with very little chance they could actually win this war. however, tonight perhaps a glimmer of hope. the german chancellor angela merkel and french president francois holland have announced they're going to moscow tomorrow to try and reach a political settlement with president vladimir putin. >> pelley: elizabeth palmer in ukraine tonight. we've learned tonight that jordanian air force pilot who was executed by being burned alive, most likely ejected from his plane after he was shot down accidentally by his own wing man. charlie d'agata in jordan reports that the kingdom has launched a wave of retaliation against the islamic extremists known as isis. >> reporter: jordan launched its most punishing air assault yet on suspected isis targets near the terror group's syrian stronghold of raqqa. foreign minister nasser judeh told us today's military offensive is just the beginning. are they considering sending in ground forces? >> we are not going to divulge our plans but it's not just about increased air campaigns or sorties or combat sorties. it's with everything that we have. >> reporter: he made clear that jordanian troops, seen here on joint exercises with u.s. forces in 2013, will take a lead role against isis militants. >> this is our fight and if there was any shred of doubt that these people are evil, i think this horrific act was evidence enough. >> reporter: but there was another shock today about muath al-kaseasbeh's death. u.s. officials had told us he may have been accidentally shot down by his own wing man. jordan has not said what caused the crash. today, king abdullah paid his condolences to the murdered pilot's family as fighter jets roared overhead. a detour over muath al-kaseasbeh's home town. this is a fight that's being waged on jordan's doorstep. are you worried about jordan's security? >> absolutely not. i mean, we are very, very confident. we have to knock at their door before they knock at ours. >> reporter: u.s. military officials tell us that 20 jordanian f-16 fighter jets took part in those air strikes scott, with a lot of backup from u.s. aircraft in terms of reconsans, refueling and radio jammers, and they say search-and-rescue helicopters were standing by. >> pelley: charlie d'agata covering the story for us in the jordanian capital tonight. charlie, thanks. this evening federal investigators said they found no problems with the crossing arm or traffic signal at the site of tuesday's train crash in valhalla, new york. a commuter train slammed into an s.u.v., killing six people. five new cases of measles were reported today five babies at a daycare center outside chicago. the outbreak has grown to at least 150 cases in 14 states. dean reynolds has more on the latest cases. dean. >> reporter: scott health officials told us today that over the last five years there have been maybe 10 cases of measles in the whole state of illinois. so this latest outbreak is something they haven't seen for a long time. the new cases are all associated with a daycare center in palantine, illinois, about 30 miles northwest of chicago. the five infants diagnosed with measles are all under the age of one, too young to have been given the vaccine. now every unvaccinated child and employee from that daycare center has been asked to stay home for the next three weeks but dr. terry mason of the cook county department of public health told us the measles will spread. >> there are likely to be more cases, and so we shouldn't be surprised by that. and we will do everything we can to identify, if there is a point source of this, we'll try to do our best in identifying that, but at some point the cat's out of the bag. >> reporter: now all five infants are being cared for at home now scott a good sign that they are not seriously ill. >> pelley: dean reynolds reporting for us in chicago. dean, thanks very much. today, the final chapter in the story of navy seal chris kyle began to be written in a texas courtroom. kyle is portrayed in that blockbuster movie "american sniper." mark strassman is covering the trial of the man accused of kyle's murder. >> reporter: sniper chris kyle was called the devil of ramadi. he had 160 confirmed kills, the most in u.s. military history. after the war kyle counseled troubled vets like 27-year-old eddie ray routh. routh shot and killed kyle and his friend, chad littlefield at this texas gun range two years ago. routh suffers from p.t.s.d., and plans to plead not guilty by reason of insanity. taya kyle, chris kyle's widow has scoffed that p.t.s.d. explains why anyone murders. >> it doesn't change their character. it might change their mood once in a while but it doesn't make them a murderer. >> reporter: kyle's funeral procession stretched 200 miles. the service was held at the stadium of the dallas cowboys with kyle's casket at midfield. >> i got a military-age male on a cell phone. >> reporter: "american sniper" the blockbuster war movie has spread kyle's fame beyond his native texas. 800 potential jurors have been called for routh's trial four times what's typical in rural stephenville, texas. >> you know what, i think people that don't think that he can get a fair trial in stephenville, they just don't know stephenville. >> reporter: jon koonsman is a sixth generation texas rancher and columnist for the stephenville newspaper. >> i think they're going to get in there listen to the evidence and judge based on that. >> reporter: and nothing else. >> and nothing else. >> reporter: scott 43 potential jurors were dismissed today, a dozen of them after saying they had made up their minds because of all the pretrial publicity. >> pelley: mark, thank you. american students say they are working too hard. and why are sea lions stranding themselves when the cbs evening news continues.
