☆ Biden to issue executive order aimed at protecting Americans’ sensitive data from China, other 'hostile countries'

U.S. President Joe Biden will issue an executive order Wednesday intended to safeguard the personal data of American citizens from countries deemed hostile. The executive order centers on the business of selling people's personal information, in which companies and so-called data brokers collect and trade data. The order focusses on specific, sensitive information like genomic data, biometric data, personal health data, geolocation data, financial data and other kinds of personally identifiable information. The executive order will direct the Department of Justice to issue several regulations intended to protect sensitive data. "American privacy concerns in the data broker industry are not new, and existing laws do not sufficiently protect Americans' data from misuse," the letter said.

☆ Truphone to pay $600,000 U.S. fine, ensure Russian ownership divested

WASHINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - The parent company of a small Montana wireless carrier will pay a $600,000 fine and ensure that any ownership interests by Russian investors is divested, a U.S. agency said on Thursday. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in April said Truphone, the owner of Montana-based iSmart Mobile, had been indirectly controlled by Russian oligarchs since at least 2011. Under the settlement, London-based Truphone will ensure that any stake held by Alexander Abramov, Alexander Frolov or Roman Abramovich will be divested, the FCC said. The FCC had proposed fining Truphone $660,000 in April for failing to disclose accurate ownership stakes held by foreign entities and transferring control of licenses without government approval. Truphone said it will ensure no individuals or entities designated by the Treasury Department's sanction list have any ownership or investment interests.
