Offering Data Breach Victims A Solution They Can’t Have
Via The McAfee Security Insights Blog.
Sometimes trying to comply with all of the various laws out there gets a bit ridiculous. Emergent Chaos has a blog post about how Sprint had to send a disclosure letter to a bunch of customers in New York after a laptop containing personal info of customers was stolen.More here.
They were doing so to comply with New York’s data breach law. The letter noted that Sprint was offering these customers a free year of credit monitoring — which has become pretty standard these days for companies that lose customer date. There’s just one problem.
The letter also notes that, due to a New York law forbidding it... the free credit monitoring isn’t available to customers in New York.
