Re: If the UK Gov loses any more of our personal data.....

Hi David Autumns,
I enjoyed the Register article this morning that said the manual describing data security practices was too highly classified to be released to anyone but high-level civil servants. All the data losses are being committed by low-level civil servants. laughing

Re: If the UK Gov loses any more of our personal data.....

What is hard drive with UK drivers data doing in a "secure facility" in the US?????

We got a nice letter saying sorry from the HMRC that they had let out our Names, NI Numbers, Address, Childrens Names and Birth dates plus our Bank Account details on 2 CD's along with 24,999,999 other families in the UK

Lawrence the best of it is...Who paid for that letter !!!!!!!

Don't you just love irony biggrin

Re: If the UK Gov loses any more of our personal data.....

endemic or systematic

endemic there is no training 4 junior staff regs security

systemic targetting junior staff n thieving there portables

online is safe

yet there not going to admit to locking the stable door after it has bolted

there should be a state of emergency declare right now but they havent got the balls

if they did theyd have to change all the strreeet names phone n.os credit card details national ensurence n.os names

tis not going to happen

praps a public relation exersize n various meausures 4 the banks n the police on what to do while the nation gtets fleeced

yet with foreign govts heavily funded hacking departments departments pursuing cyber warfare with increasing success

the pr 4 us has gotta be clever

tis probably gonna get a lot worse currently the dhss n the pensions dept
are sitting ducks n part of whitehall was crahed last week though theres no bbc confirmation
