Biden’s National Cybersecurity Strategy, BetterHelp’s FTC Fine, Chick-fil-A Data Breach

13 minutes

What you need to know about Biden’s new National Cybersecurity Strategy, which aims to provide a framework of what the current administration wants the US federal government, critical infrastructure organizations, and private companies to do to work together to improve national cybersecurity.

BetterHelp, a direct-to-consumer mental health app, has been asked to pay $7.8m by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for allegedly passing on users’ mental health information to Facebook, Snapchat and others.

Fast food chain Chick-fil-A has confirmed a credential stuffing attack that allowed cybercriminals (who apparently really love chicken sandwiches) to access 71,473 customer accounts and sell access to them online.
