In March, Chick-Fil-A served up a not-so-delicious announcement, revealing a “fowl” play data breach on their mobile app, which "fried" the personal details of approximately 2% of their app-loving patrons. The company discovered the breach when they noticed unusual login activity occurring within an internal account, and immediately took steps to isolate the incident and fortify against further attacks.
It is good that the company pecked away at the problem when they spotted unusual login activity, swiftly isolating the breach and fortifying their digital coop. However, customers have filed a class action lawsuit stating that the company took two months to notify them of the breach, potentially violating their rights.

Every email now blocks pixel trackers, automatically.
This week we launched a big update that helps protect your privacy when you’re sending and receiving emails by automatically blocking all tracking pixels in your emails. Companies use these to tell whether you’re looking at the email and track your behavior when you interact with the emails. This is just another change we’re implementing to help everyone take back control over their data!

We have added all Cloaked numbers to the Do Not Call list, and further improved security for Cloaked email APIs.
— Added all Cloaked phone numbers to the National Do Not Call Registry. This is a list maintained by the US Federal Trade Commission that indicates phone numbers that do not want to receive calls from telemarketers and will help prevent US-based spam calls. Cloaked will continue to add all future Cloaked Phone numbers to this list.
— Further improved security of Cloaked email APIs.
— Fixed an issue where adding the same email address in the cc or to field multiple times would cause an error.
