California State Sen. Joe Simitian, the man responsible in large part for the nation’s first data-breach notification law, has introduced new legislation that would require companies doing business in the the state to provide more information in their breach notification letters to consumers, and to send simultaneous notices to state authorities. “The future of e-commerce is directly linked to the public’s confidence in online protection and data security,” he said. “Enlightened self-interest should have made the hi-tech industry an advocate rather than an adversary for this legislation.”
