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."

    I think each ISP in CA could (should??) set up a sniffer that would detect all telnet sessions with unencrypted log-ins taking place, all unencrypted e-mails, all incidents of e-mail and personal data (like phone numbers, e-mails and the like) being entered in unsecure forms on the WEB (not under SSL) - and notify whoever is concerned. All DSL providers should monitor traffic comming from their customers and notify them as soon as unencrypted POP3 - or any other unencrypted form of data transmission - is detected comming from them.

    And everyone should dump ICQ/AIM/Messenger and start using WASTE.

    Or maybe I didn't get the joke?
