FBI Supports Breach Notification Law

Posted by Kara Reeder Oct 29, 2009 10:07:18 AM

According to Computerworld, the FBI supports a federal law that would require businesses to report data breaches to potential victims. An FBI official says such a law would help law enforcement agencies fight cyber crime.

 

The idea of a data breach notification law is nothing new. Sen. Patrick Leahy has proposed such a bill at least four times. Lydia Griggsby, the Senate Judiciary Committee's chief counsel for privacy and information policy, says data breach notification will be part of the Personal Data Privacy and Security Act, sponsored by none other than Sen. Leahy. They hope the bill will move to the Senate floor this year.
