Companies in the news.

The New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) last Wednesday charged First American Title Insurance Co. (a subsidiary of First American Financial Corp) with exposing millions of sensitive customer records due to a misconfiguration on the company's website, the Wall Street Journal reports. Reuters notes that this is the financial regulator's first enforcement action under its cybersecurity regulations, which went into effect in March 2017. DFS alleges that the company was aware of the flaw for months and failed to act before it was reported on by Brian Krebs in May 2019. The charges could result in significant fines, since each instance of exposed information is considered a separate violation carrying a penalty of up to $1,000. First American stated that it "strongly disagrees" with the charges and will contest them.

Intel's CEO Bob Swan said on an analyst call last week that the company could cease manufacturing its own chips, the Seattle Times reports. The company's stock fell 16% following Swan's comments.

Where business is done.

Avast has moved its VPN servers out of Hong Kong following the passage of China's new national security law. The company stated, "After careful consideration, we have decided (at least temporarily) to pull our VPN servers from Hong Kong. Traffic will be rerouted via nearby locations, such as Taiwan and Singapore. As we learn more about the enforcement of the new law in China, it’s crucial that we keep our eyes open for measures including the potential use of wiretaps and surveillance by the authorities."

Avast said to its users in Hong Kong, "We want to make it clear: we are not giving up on you. We will continue to offer our services so that you can continue to encrypt your connection using our servers in other locations, and in the meantime, we will continue to promote your ability to access a free and uncensored internet for as long as we possibly can. We’ll continue to monitor the situation closely."

And security innovation.

The city of Manchester is launching a cybersecurity innovation hub in Heron House, GCHQ's Manchester location, SmartCitiesWorld reports. The city is seeking "an operator with a strong track record" to run the facility.
