North Carolina’s Attorney General Josh Stein and Rep. Jason Saine have announced a new legislation that would soon make ransomware attack disclosure mandatory in North Carolina. The proposed legislation is designed to strengthen North Carolinas identity theft protection law. The legislation would allow people to freeze their credit across credit reporting agencies and also to take steps to prevent identity theft. It also updates the definition of protected information to include medical information, genetic information and health insurance account numbers. The new legislation would seek to change timelines for breach notifications.”]
