Press release: “U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) today reintroduced two bills [Notification of Risk to Personal Data Act and the Social Security Number Misuse Prevention Act] aimed at protecting individuals from identity theft by requiring businesses to notify consumers in the event of a security breach and prohibiting the sale or display of an individual’s Social Security number without his or her consent. Senator Feinstein said that the increased frequency of data breaches demonstrates that the legislation is needed sooner rather than later. Major data breaches have occurred in recent months at Boeing, UCLA, the Colorado Department of Human Services, Starbucks, the Chicago Voters’ Database, and Akron Children’s Hospital.”
