Breach-notification laws not working?
Robert Lemos, SecurityFocus 2008-06-25

Apparently the study did not investigate whether consumers who were exposed to a breach suffered reduced harm.

That is the real motivation for breach notification legislation, not reducing breach occurance.

The researchers missed the entire point! So much for their insight...
