U.S. President Barack Obama will
push Congress to pass a law requiring companies that are victims of data
breaches to notify affected consumers within 30 days and a second law
that gives consumers more control over their digital data, he said.
Obama will call for a national data breach notification law and a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights in ID theft and privacy initiatives in his State of the Union speech Jan. 20, he said Monday at the Federal Trade Commission.
Neither of those proposals is a new one—the White House first called
for a consumer privacy bill of rights in February 2012 and has backed a
national breach notification law for years—but Congress has failed to
pass those proposals. With a growing number of data breaches coming to
light, it’s important for Congress to protect Internet users from a
“direct threat” by hackers, Obama said.
