More data goes missing

Been a while since I updated, so here are a few things.It seems that even more data the government wants us to trust them with has gone missing.So far these incompetent morons have managed to lose the details of 25 million people (along with bank info and other sensitive data including the identities of people on the witness protection scheme), the DVLA lost data after they sent it to the USA, The DVLA in NI lost data they were sending to the UK mainland and the list is getting longer all the time.Here are some links to read up on each thing.

It would also seem that NHS Grampian lost data 8 times in 5 years.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7158688.stm

They still insist they can be trusted with our data and they still demand that they know everything about you and your family, yet the cant even look after the stuff they have already stolen from us. When will these pathetic people learn

Opps, have we lost even more CDs?

I must be the last privacy campaigner on the planet to comment on the HMRC screw ups. Here are the basics
25 million records along with names, address, DOB, partner details (if they have a partner that is) and Bank Info has gone missing (a junior official is being used as a scape goat while the people at the top get away with it. See, It’s not just the Met Office that keep the incompetent as senior levels).
In August a laptop that contained sensitive financial details of about 400 people with ISAs was stolen after being left in a car (not sure if that was HMRC).
In May HMRC posted details of the family tax credits of 42,000 families to other people after an apparent “printer error” (in other words a twit told the printer to do it wrong!).
A CD-Rom that contained information on 15,000 Standard Life customers had been lost (a pension thing, I think).

Is this the end of the list? Probably not, yet for some reason they are still going ahead with the National Identification Register (the database behind ID cards), NHS database, child index……..Should we be worried? Hmmm, let me think on that one……..
