House Hearing on Combating Pretexting

Combating Pretexting: H.R. 936, Prevention of Fraudulent Access to Phone Records Act, Committee on Energy and Commerce, Friday, March 9, 2007

  • Witness List and Prepared Testimony
  • EPIC: “In testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, EPIC Executive Director Marc Rotenberg expressed support for H.R. 936, the Prevention of Fraudulent Access to Phone Records Act. The Act would increase privacy protections for phone records. In August 2005, EPIC petitioned the FCC to establish stronger security standaard for telephone records. The FCC endorsed EPIC’s petition in February 2006, but more than a year later, there are still no clear standards for telephone record privacy.”
