DVLA loses personal data of 6,000 drivers

[streaky]

Another one!

This time the DVLA office in NI sent details for a safety recall to Swansea, but the two CDs went missing along the way.

Maybe its time we all got rechristened and changed our names just to get the system safe again. muppets

Sometimes I think it would be easier to give the CD's to someone and tell them, to take them personally.
Probably be cheaper in the long run too.

Rather like the situation at HMRC, a CSO chum of mine issued an instruction that certain data be carried by "safe-hand". 'Management' overruled him (without discussion or informing him) and those data were sent by carrier. The tape cartridges didn't arrive. Guess whose butt got kicked? Yup! He quit (and will probably take hs ex-employer to an Employment Tribunal) - Streaky

Frankly that wouldn't worry me, as long as they reached their destination safely.

Love the way the MSM is finally catching on to this. There's usually some data lost like this around once a month, if you read the IT industry press.

It was also announced this week that there are now half a million innocent people on the police DNA database - that's about 17% of the total.

Lets all say it together: "giving control of our personal data to the government is BAAAAAD"
