Industry Backs Attorney General’s Call for Federal Data-Breach Law
Posted in: UncategorizedU.S. Attorney General Eric Holder wants a national law governing how companies handle data security breaches, and industry is on board.
The Justice Department is taking an aggressive approach to investigating recent data breaches, including Target’s massive consumer information spill announced in December, said Mr. Holder yesterday.
Now, he wants Congress to take action. “It is time for leaders in Washington to provide the tools that we need to do even more by requiring businesses to notify American consumers and law enforcement in the wake of significant data breaches,” he said during a video address.
