the first picture was not disguised when it appeared on a screen where victims' relatives were gathered. some went into hysterics. for some the news was too much to bear. many broke down. their hopes were a dashed. the copilot said at first he and his crew thought the bodies he saw in the the water were waiting for help. and at first the the debris was cautiously described as likely to be from the plane. now it is confirmed. the recovery operation is being hampered by strong winds and waves more than six feet high. earlier in the day the people representing the family of the victims were flown over the area to pray as close to the spot as possible. >> let's focus on getting you back. if we have a lot of families over there, it's going to complicate it to finish off the evacuation. so the key now is to get

more concentrated. >> according to an aviation source, airasia recently began to upgrade the jets to confirm the tracking of the fleets. the airline has not confirmed that information nor whether the plane was a part of the upgrade. >> jeff, thank you. and this morning we're learning of another airasia plane in tr you believe. this time, however, it is in the philippines. a flight from manila overshot the runway today. a witness said it made a hard landing and passengers had to use evacuation slides. there is no official word of injuries but you can imagine how scary that must have been. coming up a closer look at how the weather may have brought down flight 8501. notoriously violent storms over the java sea and the extreme high altitudes. some cyber security experts are expressing doubts north korea was behind the massive

>> there are certainly north korean fingerprints on all. but when we run all of those leads to ground, they turn out to be decoys or red herrings. >> stamberger says the investigation points to a woman who calls herself lena and claimed to be connected with the guardians of peace hacking group. >> this woman was in precisely the right position and had the technical background she would need to locate the specific servers that were compromised. alternate theorys about who was to blame for the attack came days after the fbi announced north korea was responsible. even sew, the state department said it had no plans to change its decision. >> we are confident north korea is responsible for this destructive attack. we sfand behind that conclusion. >> that's not enough time to do

thorough investigation, looking at all the logs. >> this is a former hacker and cyber security expert. he says the government's conclusion about the complicated attack came far too soon. >> north korea would not be able to handle such a massive amount of information floating into it from external source without raising any red flags. >> skeptics of the government's north korean theory point to the short length of time they took to draw their north korea conclusion but they say if used by north korea is not inclusive and is used in the united states every day. >> fascinating story that seems fascinating by the day. you can find that at cbsnews.com. this morning protesters in los angeles are expressing anger over what they say is another example of police brutality. they blocked part of the 110

reason scalise would be a good option. >> house speaker john boehner has a decision to make. he's trying to set the tone for his new congress. but he knows if he cuts scalise off, it could cost him political capital within the house. >> you know scalise is well respected among conservatives and his presence in the leadership gives speaker boehner credibility with that part of the republican party. but this comes as the gop is really trying to reach out to african-americans and other minorities and this obviously does not help. >> jan, thank you. the search continues for more possible victims in a ferry disaster off the coast of greece. ten people died in the fire. and rescuers pulled 427 people from the vessel. italian officials will launch a criminal investigation into the fire's cause. in philadelphia, a flaming engine gave passengers scare.

klieman is with us. good morning. >> good morning, norah. >> you can use the gps to track where your kids are, you can also track a cheating spouse. but how are these apps being used in terms of victims of domestic violence. >> what we're seeing is a morphing here. what we thought is the nanny cam or elder care or employers looking for employees who might be engaged in theft. and now this whole morphing has come down to two different aspects. one is what we think of as the gps function that is where is your so-called cheating spouse going to be. are they where they say they're going to be. but much more significant now is the real danger for victims of domestic violence. because it's not only finding out where they are, it's actually hacking into through the spy ware to read e-mails, texts, hear voice mails. actually get into a phone call and eavesdrop. and one of the creepiest parts

of it from i sit is the ability to turn on this microphone and within 15 feet hear what is actually happening. it's treacherous. >> it is. >> how do users install this software without any detection? >> what happens here jeff is this. first of all, we should say it is illegal to manufacture. it is illegal to advertise, it is illegal to sell this type of spy ware in the united states of america. obviously, that's the creation of it. it's also, obviously, illegal to use, because you're there for a stalker, or an eavesdropper. you're wiretapping. so how does it get in? >> right. >> so how it gets in is if the stalker or aggressor, the person who wants to do a bad thing can get ahold of that phone or computer for a very very short time, this software can be installed. and they do it in very devious ways. sometimes, they can use their child. sometimes, they can go as far as using a repairman.

the guy comes from the cable company or the electronics. the con-ed guy, there's where it gets installed. but one of the other thing, of course, people have become expert at hacking into the computer. so all of these things become fraught with peril. >> reporter: interesting i just wanted to give you this if you look up the domestic hot line in the united states, it says on the top of the first page it gives you a safety alert to tell primarily women that your computer could be monitored and it is impossible to completely clear. so the person who is being stalked to the person who may become a victim has no idea it's on there. >> yeah i was stunned to npr found that 85% of domestic violence shelters said that victims had computers tracking them. >> there was a man named hamid

people in our consumer reports survey had side effects. it was jitteriness, rapid heart rate, dry mouth were some of the most common. for people also taking prescription medications these pills can interact with the prescription drugs and raise blood pressure. some pills are actually adult rated with banned substances and the fda has taken a bunch of those off the maskts. >> do they list what substances are in there? >> they do but when something -- a banned drug is not listed on the ingredients list. >> wow. trish calvo thanks very much. >> thank you. >> interesting information. more depressing news from the new year. we thought we could take pills and lose weight. >> why are you forcing it? two more days to eat it. >> i know. >> until new year's. coming up unprecedented project maps the way google maps streets. we are onboard for an historic dive in u.s. waters. plus, one man's journey around the world thanks to the generosity of others. >> can i live in your house?

>> my favorite spot is bhutan they have great gross national happiness. >> you made pretty big promises basically paying it forward. when did that idea -- when did you realize i want to do so much for people who have done for me. >> i've done before about receiving kindness. this was about receiving and giving. for example, tony i was very fortunate to put him up in an apartment, send him back to school. >> this is the homeness man? >> yes. so he's not homeless anymore. that feels wonderful, for me, obviously for him. it's a wonderful thing. >> you talk about the struggle with kindness sometimes, when somebody is truly kind, they shouldn't be writing a book or accepting something back. did you struggle with the idea of a book? >> i did. to begin with i remember i read a book once and it said a true act of kindness is when you don't tell anybody what you're doing.

obviously, here i am telling people what i'm doing. i just felt it was something so powerful. and the stories i had the people i met were so inspiring that i wanted to share it. >> really quickly. what's next? >> what's next? more adventures more giving back. >> you already hit 90 countries. the kindness diaries is already on sell now. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪
