Thirty one states have banned the app from all government devices, including New Jersey. New York has proposed a bill that would do the same.
Later this month, a federal bill will go into effect banning the app from government devices.
So what is the threat, and what does it mean for the average user? We spoke with Sherri Davidoff, a cybersecurity expert and CEO of LMG Security, to learn more.
