Another day, another… hardly a week goes by without… if I had a fiver for…. I’ve lost count of how…
The latest incident of data loss really, really plumbs the depths. I’ve started to pay less attention to the detail of such cases recently because it’s plain they’re simply endemic, human failings and not something we can somehow cure by tinkering around the edges. But I’ve just been reading this, which says:
“The portable drive contains the names, addresses, passport numbers, dates of birth and driving licence details of around 100,000 serving personnel across the Army, Royal Navy and RAF, plus their next-of-kin details.”
Wow. Just… wow.
The icing on the cake is that it was all on a portable drive as well. Words fail me. All that data in ONE PLACE.
