Notifications of Security Breaches

Posted by michael on from the heard-it-through-the-grapevine dept.

LogError writes "On July 1, 2003, Senate bill 1386 becomes Civil Code 1798.82. In a nutshell, the law states that any person or company doing business in the state of California is responsible for notifying California residents of security breaches to their non-encrypted information. It is important to note that the actual breach does not need to occur in the state of California for the law to apply."

    Dear Valued Taxpayer,

    Your social security number was stolen by a hacker. He stole your identity. Have a nice day.
