‘Equifax bill’ would require faster data breaches notices
By PARIS ACHEN
Capital Bureau
SALEM — Oregon lawmakers
hope to advance a bill this week
to require companies to notify
consumers within 45 days after
discovering a data breach of their
personal information.
House Bill 4147 also would
prohibit companies from charging
consumers or requesting their credit
or debit card numbers to redeem
the companies’ offer for free credit
card monitoring or a security freeze
or to replace personal identification
number, passwords or similar
devices.
Dubbed the “Equifax bill,” the
proposed regulations intersect with
revelations Friday, Feb. 9, that
cyber thieves last year accessed
more personal information than
previously reported by the Equifax.
The security breach affected an esti-
mated 145.5 million consumers in
the United States, Canada
and the United Kingdom.
“Oregon fared no
better — over 1.7 million
of Oregonians’ infor-
mation was breached,”
according to written
testimony from Oregon
Attorney General Ellen
Rosenblum’s office. “As
one cannot change their
Social Security Numbers,
this is a breach that will follow
Oregonians for many years to come.
Not only does the sheer size of
the breach cause concern, but the
Equifax story revealed many other
failures and unfair practices.”
The Atlanta credit reporting
agency discovered in July that
hackers had stolen consumers’
names, addresses, birthdates, Social
Security numbers and certain driv-
er’s license information.
But the breach wasn’t
reported to consumers
until
September,
according to media
reports.
A letter to U.S.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren,
D-Massachusetts, of the
U.S. Senate Banking
Committee on Friday,
Feb. 9, showed that addi-
tional consumer information was
exposed, including tax identification
numbers, email addresses and addi-
tional driver’s license information.
HB 4147 would require compa-
nies to reveal a breach within
45 days unless law enforcement
determines doing so would impede
a criminal investigation.
Data breaches less than 350,000
would require companies to notify
consumers in writing, electronically
or by phone. Notices of larger data
breaches would require companies
to post notice on their website and in
statewide newspapers and television
broadcasts. Companies would have
to report all data breaches to the
state attorney general’s office.
Oregonians reported losses of
$12.8 million from cybercrimes
in 2016, according to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation’s Internet
Crime Complaint Center. Data
breaches fuel those crimes,
according to the attorney general’s
office.
Equifax offered free credit moni-
toring services to affected consumers
but accepting the offer they were
forced to accept arbitration and a
waiver of any lawsuit connected
to the breach. “They and other
credit reporting agencies steered
consumers away from credit freezes,
and into other pay-per-month type
services,” according to the attorney
general’s office testimony.
Freezing credit is one of the best
preventative measures a consumer
can take to protect their credit
from fraudulent uses, but ordering
a freeze required a fee. “Making
freezes free, like some other states,
is the best way to help consumers
use this very important tool,”
according to the attorney general’s
statement. The bill provides that a
consumer may freeze credit for free
once a year.

One climber dies, others
rescued on Mount Hood
GOVERNMENT CAMP
(AP) — One climber fell to
his death and several others
had to be rescued after
conditions turned treacherous
on Oregon’s tallest peak on
Tuesday.
More than a half-dozen
people had been climbing
near Mount Hood’s peak
when a climber fell about
1,000 feet, said Sgt. Brian
Jensen, a Clackamas County
sheriff’s office spokesman.
“One of the guys slipped,”
said climber Quinn Talley
of Welches, Oregon, who
had been descending after
summiting around 8 a.m. “At
first he was just sliding and
right before he disappeared,
he started cartwheeling.”
Talley, who said he’s
climbed the mountain about
20 times and has never seen
worse conditions, said he
tried to reach the man, but the
ice was too dangerous.
“Normally, you like a
frozen crust on snow so your
crampons don’t ball up with
snow, but this is different,”
Talley said. “With the rain
and freeze cycles, there’s
something called rime ice
... and it’s really loose and
normally it’s just fluffy. But
these were like dinner plates,
hard ice dinner plates.”

In this Dec. 2009 file photo, high winds whip snow off
the western peaks of Mount Hood.
KOIN-TV reported that
video taken from a helicopter
showed other climbers
performing CPR on the man
before he was airlifted by
an Oregon Army National
Guard helicopter to a hospital.
He was later declared dead.
Authorities have not released
his identity.
Mount Hood, a peak
notorious for loose ice and
rocks in warm weather, is
a popular climbing site that
has seen dozens of accidents
and fatalities over the years.
Thousands climb it each year,
mostly in the spring.
The sun has been out this
week and the temperature was
around freezing at the spot
where the climber fell, said
Russell Gubele of Mountain
Wave Search and Rescue.
“This is the kind of
weather conditions and the
time of year where you often
get falling ice, falling rocks
and problems,” Gubele said.
“It sounds like the conditions
up there are very unsafe right
now.”
Climbers
used
their
cellphones to report that
conditions were hazardous
and described the falling
rocks and ice “like a bowling
alley,” said Air Force Maj.
Chris Bernard of the 304th
Rescue Squadron.
