There are two serious loopholes inrepparttar regulations. First, a financial institution that discovers a database breach must only notify account holders if it is "reasonably possible" that personal details will be misused. Second,repparttar 119129 regulations only apply to personal data, not business or commercial accounts.

While these new regulations are a positive step, one could drive a truck throughrepparttar 119130 two loopholes. Determining whether it is “reasonably possible” that your information will be misused is a vague standard that many financial institutions will use to withhold information. Put bluntly,repparttar 119131 notification regulations are gutless.

The best method for keeping an eye on database breaches is to look for stories inrepparttar 119132 news. Under California law, companies are required to give notice to California residents when breaches occur.

Hackers do not restrict their attacks to California residents.
