People is the count the filing gives, residents of the state unless marked total. Days to notice runs from the discovery date the letter states, or from the end of the breach window when no letter states one, to the date on the state's first record of the incident. "Over" marks a count past the days the state's statute allows for notice to residents. The statute's trigger is a question of fact, the days are arithmetic.
The statutes
- Vermont: 45 days to notify residents from discovery or notification of the breach, 9 V.S.A. § 2435. Attorney General within 14 business days of discovery or of the consumer notice, whichever is sooner, every breach.
- Massachusetts: no fixed period to notify residents from knowledge or reason to know of the breach, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93H, § 3. Attorney General and OCABR as soon as practicable and without unreasonable delay, every breach.
