JERSEY CITY, N.J. Sen. Robert Menendez wants the federal government to hold companies accountable when their customers’ financial information is stolen.
The New Jersey Democrat is taking on the topic after last week’s revelation that information about 40 million Target customer accounts had been stolen.
At a news conference Thursday outside a Target store in Jersey City, Menendez said he wanted to make sure retailers are “putting their customers ahead of profits.” He announced that he had requested details from the Federal Trade Commission on whether it can fine firms for security breaches and whether laws should be changed to protect consumer data.
“We need to know if the FTC has the teeth to hold retailers who failed to protect consumers’ information accountable,” Menendez said.
