Simon Says: New Cybersecurity Rules and a TikTok Victory
In a game of cybersecurity Simon Says, the EU’s new Cyber Resilience Act sets tough rules for tech. Meanwhile, TikTok dances to victory in Montana, and Dollar Tree accidentally runs a data giveaway.
Hot Take:
It looks like the European Union is playing a game of "Simon Says" but with a cybersecurity twist. With the new Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), if Simon says "Patch your software in 24 hours," you better do it or prepare to cough up some serious cash. But, fear not, open source software—the underappreciated workhorse of the digital era—gets a pass this time around. Meanwhile, TikTok users in Montana are doing a victory dance after a federal judge blocked a ban on the app. And in the spirit of giving, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar are unintentionally handing out employee data like it's on sale.Already a member?
