Industry Giants Lobby to Kill Pro-Consumer Data-Breach LegislationIn a direct slap in the face to consumers, tech industry giants
including Microsoft, AT&T, and Verizon are frantically engaged in
an effort to kill pro-consumer provisions in a
data breach notification bill currently being considered by the Indiana State Senate.
The state of New Hampshire
already posts copies online of all breaches reported to its Department of Justice.
In addition to the New Hampshire site, both the
Privacy Rights Clearinghouse and
Attrition.org collect and publish data breach reports online. Attrition.org is
even nice enough to provide an RSS feed of the latest breach reports, perfect for interested parties, or computer geeks wanting to create a mashup.
