Earlier this month, legislation was introduced in Congress to provide lifetime identity theft protection services to victims of the breach. And the state of Connecticut is taking aggressive action as well.
Gov. Dannel Malloy has signed into law a measure that amends the state’s current data breach law and creates new mandates for state contractors, health insurance providers and smartphone sellers doing business in the state. Companies will be required to provide identity theft protection for a year to those whose Social Security numbers were exposed or reasonably likely were exposed. Connecticut is the first state to require companies to provide identity theft services at no cost. Similar proposals are pending in California and Pennsylvania.
