President Obama is proposing a national data breach notification law. The measure would require businesses to notify consumers within 30 days of a breach. The Personal Data Notification and Protection Act would supersede nearly four dozen state laws. The bill is one of a series of measures Obama proposed in a speech delivered Jan. 12 at the Federal Trade Commission. Obama contends the proposal is aimed at protecting American companies, consumers and infrastructure from cyberthreats while safeguarding privacy and civil liberties. The president’s proposals come as the cyber-attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment still reverberates.”]
