Possible Federal Law to Protect Personal Records

With identity theft getting more and more commonplace, some think that the solution lies in a federal law to protect personal records.

2008 has already surpassed all of 2007 in terms of security breaches and there is no visible end in sight.

Congress has been cracking down on online identity thieves but no legislation has been passed to directly target them.

Florida is one of the few states which require businesses to notify customers if their information may have been stolen, but new legislation may take it a step further and expand this security to other states.
