and broadly-written tech laws? (Assuming this one gets enacted as is, ofcourse.) That seems to be the immediate solution if for some reason this
law got passed as it reads now.However, I doubt the Secret Service and state Ags would take this bill as
written....every Tom, Dick, Dave, Declan, and Rick potentially would be calling them to report things. Not like their resources are in complete abundance for this, you know. :)One question I've not seen yet, though -- what about folks running mailing
lists hosted by ISP or web companies instead of on servers they own themselves? Eg, if INFOWARRIOR-L was hosted at Earthlink on a sharedserver, is it Earthlink's job to report a data breach to ME to relay to my users, or is it MY job to report it to my users? Where does the burden of effort (labor or financial) lie here? IIRC the proposed law doesn't make
that clear.The draft bill is a decent first step, but leaves MANY unanswered questions
and as someone else said earlier, creates more problems for legitimate users/companies than it solves. -rick Infowarrior.org ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
