American Cybersecurity Literacy Act

# American Cybersecurity Literacy Act Summary **What the bill would do:** The American Cybersecurity Literacy Act would require the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (a federal agency) to launch a public education campaign teaching Americans about cybersecurity. The campaign would focus on practical steps people can take to protect themselves online, such as changing default passwords on devices and being cautious about app permissions that request unnecessary access to personal information. **Who it affects:** This bill would affect virtually all Americans who use the internet, smartphones, or connected devices.

It's designed to help the general public better understand and protect against cyber threats. **Current status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it's still being reviewed and debated by lawmakers and hasn't yet been brought to a full vote in the House of Representatives.
