Concealing security breaches in which personal consumer information may have been swiped could carry prison time under a pair of sweeping proposals that resurfaced Tuesday in Congress.

In the U.S. Senate, Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy and Pennsylvania Republican Arlen Specter revived a version of their Personal Data Privacy Act that was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee last year but died before a floor vote. The senators first proposed an even broader version of the sweeping measure in 2005 after word of high-profile breaches at ChoicePoint and LexisNexis, two major collectors of consumer information.
