Brief
T his week, we dive into detailed reports of vulnerabilities impacting Intel, McDonald’s, and the social media app TeaForHer, each with valuable lessons for API security.

Before we dive in this week, a big thank you to everyone who dropped by the 42Crunch booth at Black Hat USA earlier this month and shared your thoughts on the APISecurity.io newsletter.
Hearing your feedback was very encouraging, especially stories from teams using lessons learned from API breaches to improve your own API development. That is exactly why we do this, and so very gratifying to get that feedback!
