Georgia workers who rely on their personal vehicles for business may soon see a little extra relief at the pump, while Chick-fil-A customers are being urged to keep an eye on their mailboxes following a cybersecurity incident. Meanwhile, an unusual security trend is gaining traction across metro Atlanta.
The Internal Revenue Service has increased the standard mileage reimbursement rate to 76 cents per mile, effective this month. The increase is designed to help offset rising fuel and vehicle operating costs for workers who drive as part of their jobs, including rideshare drivers, food delivery workers and employees who receive mileage reimbursement from their employers.
The adjustment comes as Georgia drivers continue to face elevated gas prices, with the statewide average hovering near $3.80 per gallon.
Chick-fil-A is also notifying some customers after a recent cyberattack may have exposed personal information belonging to members of its loyalty rewards program. The company is contacting affected users directly through mailed notification letters while continuing its response to the security incident. Customers are encouraged to monitor their accounts and follow any guidance provided in the notifications.
In metro Atlanta, apartment communities are increasingly turning to technology to strengthen security efforts. Robot security dogs are being deployed at some properties to patrol grounds, monitor for suspicious activity and support on-site security teams. While the robotic devices have drawn mixed reactions for their futuristic appearance, property managers say they provide another layer of surveillance intended to improve resident safety.
