The article is lifted from TechRepublic, hence the article's header and footer, and reads just like every other column filler puff piece about breaches to have come out over the last couple of years - short on specifics, long on generalities. The resources suggested in the article are useless from an Australian perspective, being focussed almost exclusively on the US. As a new commenter, it's not that I don't believe you because I think laws predate standards (which I don't believe). I don't believe you - because you failed to comprehend the article.
