Left themselves a bit open to attack on the ID card thing.

Quite comical but makes me wonder why it seems to have only been happening recently.This spate of losing public details

I know a bit more about one of the other leaks of data from the NHS. It was actually a courier who had names of who had to sign for the package when delivered but the courier just gave it to the first person he saw in the hospital foyer who signed the form "M Mouse". *******.

How dare you say M. Mouse is a *******? I'll have you know he's a respected cartoon character.

You can never legislate for human error, ie plain supidity.

Mate of mine asked HR for latest salary details for his department staff, and got back the entire company payroll, over 500 people, including the MD

It made interesting reading, though
