California disclosure law has national reach
Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-01-06

A new California law requiring companies to notify their customers of computer security breaches applies to any online business that counts Californians as customers, even if the company isn't based in the Golden State.

This definatly sounds like a good idea seeing as how something of this nature is needed, however just like all new laws this has to be defined better so that the vagueness of it cannot be exploited by either side in a unconstitutional matter.

I also wonder, though, if it will work if the company is based "outside of the golden state." Is this considered constitutional considering that the company is not technicaly under the influence of California law (because they are not based within California)??

Just some thaughts.
