Dear Sir: Your Credit Card Number Has Been Owned

An anonymous reader submits: "California has become the first state in the nation to require companies victimized by malicious computer attacks to disclose what might have been compromised to their customers. Dubbed the Security Breach Information Act, companies whose systems are cracked and have credit card, bank account, and/or other significant customer data stolen are required to report the intrusion either by email, snail mail, a notice on their website, or by notification to the news media. Law takes effect Tuesday, July 1 (tomorrow)."
