Paul Hogan, CEO of T3, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Virogen Inc. (OTC: VRNI), a technology holding company, on 12/20/11 commented on federal legislation that was introduced in the Senate during the summer of 2011 that would require US-based companies to report data breaches that threaten consumer privacy and could face stiff penalties for concealing them.

The Personal Data Privacy and Security Act aims to set national standards for protecting the growing amount of personally identifiable information being stored online. Its approval by the Senate Judiciary Committee represents the fourth year the bill has been introduced, said its sponsor, Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont.

Paul Hogan commented, "This recent legislation proposal shows the absolute crisis that the US and the world's largest corporations and government are facing regarding data breaches and the subsequent leakage of extremely sensitive consumer and government information. Cyber attacks have been around for a long time, however due to their sensitive nature, large corporations have tried their best to keep them from being reported to the media, which would no longer be possible if this legislation passes which we believe is simply a matter of time."
