Data Unprotection
Thousands of driver details lost
Another government agency, more details lost by CDs containing unencrypted data being sent through the post. I genuinely don’t believe how it is possible for people to be this stupid - sending private and confidential information on a CD-ROM through the post. Ridiculous. Encrypting data is SO easy, I don’t understand why they don’t do it as a matter of course.
At the risk of sounding like the Daily Mail... we trust the government with our private and confidential information - they are clearly not taking it seriously enough. Why not? And when are they going to start doing so?
