Student data lost in post

Seems data is still going missing. When will these people learn!?

Tax return site seems to be ‘too risky’ for some people. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;jsessionid=VUWTDRLGXJMBFQFIQMFCFGGAVCBQYIV0?xml=/news/2008/01/26/ntax126.xml).

there is a website that gives a list of some other breaches. This is not a compleate list (for example last time I checked it did not mention Grampian NHS losing data 8 times in 5 years and it would be very difficult to list all breaches that have taken place at a more local level). http://www.openrightsgroup.org/orgwiki/index.php/UK_Privacy_Debacles
