The Federal Communications Commission has introduced updated data breach rules for telecommunications firms that expand the definition of breach to unintended customer data access, use, or disclosure, according to The Record, a news site by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future. Aside from requiring telecommunications carriers and providers to provide breach notifications to the FCC, the new rules also mandate the release of breach notices to impacted customers within 30 days unless a deferral has been requested by law enforcement.
