Industry Giants Lobby to Kill Pro-Consumer Data-Breach Legislation

In 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.
