Disclosure Laws to be Outdated?

Thomas Oscherwitz offers at CNet News.com a nice overview perspective of recent developments in data security laws. Radical changes in the law took place during 2005 after the ChoicePoint data debacle, largely as a result of states following the lead of California in requiring disclosure of certain security breaches that largely had been kept secret in the past.

More changes are certain to follow as more states consider rules on maintaining security at the front end rather than just focusing on disclosure of breaches at the back end. And Congress is still lurking in the wings trying to devise a federal approach to the problem. But Oscherwitz suggests many of these new laws soon may be outdated by technological developments.

What the lawyer makes us say: You have heard it before, but it is important, so here it is again. An insurance policy is the controlling document, and nothing in this blog changes or waives any policy language. You must refer to actual policy language, whether it belongs to us or someone else. Do not rely on a general discussion of policy terms and issues. Actual application of an insurance policy to a particular situation depends on specific facts and applicable law. This blog is not a substitute for legal advice, and an attorney in the appropriate jurisdiction should be consulted for help whenever legal counseling is needed or appropriate.
