New Jersey has become the latest state to call for an expansion of its data breach notification law, adding to the smorgasbord of privacy legislation erupting throughout the US.
The proposed changes would broaden the definition of personal information, already defined under the north-eastern state’s 2005 law, which requires businesses to notify consumers when a breach occurs.

A notification would now additionally be required if disclosure occurs to a “username, email address, or any other account holder identifying information, in combination with any password or security question and answer that would permit access to an online account”, the amendment reads.

As of Sept 1st, 2019, businesses based in New Jersey are now required to notify impacted users of online account information exposed in a data breach. Because of this amended law, New Jersey residents are now better protected from the risk associated with account takeover.
The amendment specifically includes data elements that would allow a criminal to fraudulently access a customer’s online account and commit fraud.

“New Jersey has now become the 11th state to update its data breach notification law to specifically address online breaches. This a big win for consumers and reinforces the need for organizations to better secure their environments and protect their users from account takeover.” said Michael Greene, CEO of Enzoic. “Since so many data breaches include user-name and password combinations, screening for compromised credentials is now a must-have, not a nice-to-have.”
