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

Twitter’s Paywall 2FA, Mental Health Data for Sale, Meta’s Verified Program
Twitter is phasing out its free text message two-factor authentication (2FA) and putting the feature behind a paywall, prompting security experts to advise Twitter users to switch to other authentication methods.
How data brokers are selling sensitive mental health data for a few hundred dollars with little attempt to hide identifying information such as names and addresses. A new report highlights how some firms are offering the data for as low as $275 for information on 5,000 people, and Congress has yet to pass significant legislation on data brokers.
Meta (formerly Facebook) has launched a new program called Meta Verified which aims to unify verification across all of the company’s platforms. Users can pay a monthly fee to verify their presence on Facebook and Instagram by submitting their government ID.
** Links mentioned on the show *
Could Twitter shutting off SMS 2FA be a great opportunity for the security industry or is this just the start of more ‘security tax’ on the horizon?

Password Managers Under Attack, Shady Reward Apps on Google Play, Meta Account Center 2FA Bypass
The attacks on password managers and their users continue as Bitwarden and 1Password users have reported seeing paid ads for phishing sites in Google search results for the official login page of the password management vendors. Not only that, a new vulnerability in the popular open-source password management software KeePass has also been reported.
Three health tracking apps available on Google Play (Lucky Step, WalkingJoy, Lucky Habit: health tracker) have been downloaded on over 20 million devices, but a recent report shows that the rewards for using the apps are impossible or only partially available after watching tons of ads.
A bug in Meta’s Accounts Center feature allowed hackers to bypass two-factor authentication (2FA) by brute force guessing a six-digit authentication code.

U.S. ‘No Fly List’ Leaks, AI-Powered Phishing, Wi-Fi Used to See Humans Through Walls
A hacker discovered a copy of the US No Fly List, which contains the names of people banned from traveling in or out of the US on commercial flights, on an unsecured Jenkins server connected to a commercial airline.
Will AI-powered phishing become a threat for organizations?
Scientists from Carnegie Mellon University have developed a way to sense humans through walls using a deep neural network called DensePose that maps Wi-Fi signals to UV coordinates.

Social Zombies Revisited: Your Friends Want to Eat Your Brains
On this week’s episode, We’re excited to bring you a classic conference talk that Tom Eston gave with co-host Kevin Johnson back in 2009 at DEF CON 17 in Las Vegas. The talk is called “Social Zombies: Your Friends Want to Eat Your Brains” and it explores the various risks and concerns related to malware delivery through social networking sites.
We discuss how social networks make money and the privacy and security issues that arise due to the trust built on these platforms. We also delve into typical botnets and bot programs, and examine the delivery of malware through social networks and the use of these networks as command and control channels.
Interestingly, not a lot has changed in terms of the privacy and security of social networks since we gave this presentation, so it’s still highly relevant today. We hope you enjoy revisiting this classic talk with us this week on the Shared Security Show!

Meta’s EU Ad Practices Ruled Illegal, Twitter API Data Breach, Vulnerabilities in Major Car Brands
Facebook has been ordered to pay a fine of $414m by EU regulators who ruled that the company had broken EU law by forcing users to accept personalized ads. The ruling could have a major impact on Facebook’s advertising business in the EU, which is one of the company’s largest markets, if it is required to make changes to its advertising practices.
A hacker has claimed to have the personal data of 400 million Twitter users for sale on the dark web. Attackers have also released the account details and email addresses of 235 million users for free. The information was exposed due to a Twitter API vulnerability shipped in June 2021 and later patched.
Security researchers have identified security vulnerabilities in the connected vehicle APIs of 16 major car manufacturers, including Acura, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Genesis, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jaguar, Kia, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Porsche, Rolls Royce, and Toyota.
