Outdated tech putting you at risk

Your personal information could be for sale. A recent study shows someone falls victim to identity fraud every two seconds. Nearly 13 million Americans were affected last year alone, costing the U.S. about $6 billion. CBS News correspondent Anna Werner reports on how some thieves are capitalizing on outdated technology in your wallet.

Stealing benefits

Roughly 1.4 million individuals got letters saying someone had already filed a federal tax return using the same Social Security number this year and any tax refund was on hold until the taxpayer's identity could be established. Government documents and benefits fraud now account for nearly four in 10 identity-theft complaints. And getting your benefit can take months.

Which 2016 candidate's state has the strictest gun laws? In the wake of last week's deadly theater shooting, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is touting recent reforms he enacted -- how do the other governors in the running stack up?

Bigger wildfires due to climate change?

Tom Harbour, of the U.S. Forest Service, readily admits he doesn't know all that much about climate change. But the folksy and plain-spoken Harbour knows plenty about fighting wildfires. And since he first joined the service in 1970 , Harbour, the agency's national director for fire and aviation management, has witnessed "longer seasons" and "bigger fires."

Diving for gold

A family found $1 million dollars in gold and other artifacts off the Florida coast from a fleet of ships that sank 300 years ago this week. CBSN Correspondent Vladimir Duthiers spoke to the Schmitt family to learn what it takes to excavate underwater.

Pope's U.S. visit

There's less than two months to go before Pope Francis makes his first-ever visit to the U.S. The September trip kicks off in Washington, with stops at the White House and Capitol Hill, where Francis will be the first pope to address Congress. In New York, he'll appear before the U.N. General Assembly and visit Saint Patrick's Cathedral. CBS News correspondent Mireya Villarreal spoke to one woman who's working around the clock to help coordinate his visit to Philadelphia.
