Tammy Baldwin on Equifax Hack: We Must Require Companies that Experience a Breach to Inform the People

‘So that they can take the next appropriate steps’

EXCERPT:

BALDWIN: "Number one, I believe that the Senate must act to require companies that experience a breach or a hack of this nature to inform the people whose information was hacked. So that they can take the next appropriate steps. You ran the coverage of my questions to the executives about how many people on their own have wandered to their website to learn whether they were impacted by this. But I asked a yes or no question: Will you directly reach out to every person affected to the best of your ability? And I got not a yes or no answer, but obfuscation, I got a long-winded response of 'Where states have passed laws, we’ll do it.'"
