As of July 1, entities that process more than 6 million credit or debit card transactions annually who fail to reasonably safeguard card information can be required to reimburse financial institutions for the costs related to the re-issuance of cards as well as attorneys fees and costs in the event that a security breach involving payment card information is a proximate result.https://privacylaw.proskauerroseblogs.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2019/04/privacy-law-blog-v3.jpg1600800
