Connecticut Proposes Mandatory Forensic Reporting for Breaches Affecting 100,000+ Residents

The bill represents a shift from notification-only to forensic accountability, potentially setting a template for other states. With 20 states now enforcing comprehensive privacy laws, the regulatory landscape continues to fragment in the absence of federal legislation.
