As data breaches become more common and more severe, the FCC is proposing new rules that could change how telecom companies report them.

Some of the additional steps FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel shared in aWednesday would require carriers to notify the FCC, as well as the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the US Secret Service, of any inadvertent or unintentional breaches that put people’s personal information at risk.
“Current law already requires telecommunications carriers to protect the privacy and security of sensitive customer information,” Rosenworcel said in aabout the proposal. “But these rules need updating to fully reflect the evolving nature of data breaches and the real-time threat they pose to affected consumers.”
With data breaches increasing in frequency, sophistication and scale, and the consequences for consumers lasting long after leaks of personal information take place, I think it's time for the FCC to modernize and clean up its data breach policies.
