    A massive, five-year international cyber attack called "Shady RAT" is said to be a wake-up call for both government and industry. Not that anybody's surprised. Has China been stealing defense secrets and intellectual property, and is it time to fight back? Could that compromise America's cyber-spying on other countries? Also, unemployment numbers can't dispel gloom over the economy, and 66 years ago this week, the US dropped the only atomic bombs ever used in warfare. Long-suppressed color footage of the devastation in Japan is now available.
