5/1 Obama Laws of Hacking and Policy

   On Monday, President Obama called for federal legislation on forcing companies to be more open about when credit card information is lost online like in the target scandal last year. This would be called the Personal Data Notification and Protection Act. It would demand one national standard that would inform the customer within 30 days if the company is hacked. The current state laws are not unified enough to protect people from this problem. President Obama also brought up the idea of the Student Data Privacy Act. This act would keep technology firms from profiting off information that is collected in schools by tablets, online software and internet projects.
