NJ Data Security Bill Cruising Along. Cost of Business Going Up.

A New Jersey data security bill is called best practices for businesses and government, but also increases the costs of government and of doing business.

The bill would require notification for more data breaches. Like most states notification in New Jersey was required for traditional indentify fraud issues- like when a name and social security number are released.

The new legidslation requires disclosure of a breach if  usernames and email addresses, in combination with a password or security question-and-answer, are released or captured. [Philadelphia Business Journal]
