Congressional Hearing Set On USDA Data Breach

Sharon Gaudin writes on InformationWeek:

The U.S. House Agriculture Committee will hold a hearing next week about the data leak at the U.S. Department of Agriculture that put the identifying information on up to 150,000 people at risk.

The hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, May 2.

Ohio Congressman Zack Space openly criticized the USDA's actions, and said next week's hearing will explore how the breach happened, proposed remedies, and recommendations on how to keep this from happening again.
