Mississippi enacts data breach notification law
On April 7, 2010, Mississippi enacted a data breach notification law that requires any person who conducts business in the State of Mississippi, and who, in the ordinary course of the person's business functions, owns, licenses, or maintains personal information of any resident of Mississippi, provide notice in the event of a data security breach.
Stanford Hospital & Clinics and the School of Medicine are notifying 2,500 patients of a potential data breach following the theft of a password-protected computer.
