Europe May Require Data Breach Notification
The European Commission has published proposals for a law change that would force telecoms firms to notify regulators and customers of all breaches of their data security. A similar law in California has resulted in a stream of data breaches being made public.More here.
In a consultation on changes to the EU framework on telecoms regulation the EC proposes that all providers of "electronic communications networks or services" be forced to notify customers and regulators of any breaches of security that would result in their personal data being made available to others.
The current EU Directive only instructs network providers to notify customers of security risks. It does not cover security breaches.
