The recently discovered/fixed gap in ecommerce security got me wondering about an article I just read. Sen. Dianne Feinstein is re-introducing a bill that is supported by the United States Direct Marketing Association that would require businesses to notify consumers in the event of a security breach.

I'm not adverse to the bills actually, what I am adverse to is "How would I know with an ofBiz installation that I've had a breach?"

I don't want the FBI coming after me because I failed to notify the Secret Service because someone downloaded 10,001 names from our system.

In the case of the recent ecommerce gap, say on a live system, does anyone have some sort of trip wires that would tell them that someone is scraping data they shouldn't? And more importantly, unusual requests that just look suspicious?
