Lax standards for Feds in data breach vote
Source: News.com
__________ WASHINGTON--Days after a massive data leak potentially affecting more than 26 million American veterans became public, a U.S. House of Representatives committee approved a bill requiring written notice of information security breaches. By a voice vote Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee adopted a bill that would require businesses to alert customers about security breaches. The panel also glued on a newly drafted amendment that would apply to federal agencies. But in a bizarre twist, the legislation regulates the private sector far more stringently than government agencies--even though the Veterans Administration was responsible for one of the largest security breaches in history, one which officials now say could cost $500 million to clean up. |
