State Rep. John Galloway (D-Bucks) is introducing legislation that would seek to include digital wallets in the Breach of Personal Information Notification Act.
“Digital wallets have made it so easy for us to pay for everyday things, but there is a great risk that digital wallets could be easily hacked, and our savings stolen from us,” said Galloway. “My legislation would protect Pennsylvanians by making sure that they are notified as soon as their wallets have been hacked so they can begin to take steps to protect any other electronic data that may have been exposed, as well as immediately start the process of repairing the damage caused by the hack.”
The legislation is now being circulated for co-sponsors and will be introduced soon.
