Senate transcript

The transcript of the Senate hearing on "securing electronice personal data", following the recently highly publicised leaks of personal information by companies like ChoicePoint, LexisNexis, Citibank and Bank of America is now available online.

Makes interesting reading. The lawmakers in this instance seem to be moving towards a federal requirement that when there is a security leak of personal data then the company hosting the data should notify people whose personal details have been compromised, as is the case in California.
