Members of Congress grilled ChoicePoint CEO Derek Smith on Tuesday, demanding the company do more to protect customers in the wake of the massive information leak at the database giant.

"The incident has caused us to go through some serious soul searching," Smith said, testifying at a hearing held by the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade, and Consumer Protection.
ChoicePoint revealed last month that thieves had accessed the personal information of 145,000 U.S. consumers from the firm.
Smith said ChoicePoint has now abandoned part of the data sales market would support some new legislation, including wider notification to victims.
Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., was one of several House members who expressed frustration with ChoicePoint and the commercial data industry, which has suffered several high-profile data leaks recently.

| The only thing that would make a difference is if Choicepoint had to pay all personal losses resulting from this mess. |
