Another round of unsubstantiated claims that they really do care about people&#39;s personal information. This one is a doozy though. A junior IT admin at Her Majesty&#39;s Revenue &amp; CustomsenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2007/11/21/uk-government-leaks-data-on-half-the-country.aspx#7206Wed, 21 Nov 2007 21:45:35 GMT91db4bc3-5a69-4a9f-94bf-eedb569902ab:7206Shan<p>Its better! Apparently the guy sent the discs through the internal mail (operated by a courier company) to the governments Audit Office, and when they didn&#39;t arrive, he allegedly sent them again!!! They are also reported as being &quot;Password protected but NOT encrypted&quot;. Are we talking password protected Excel spreadsheets here??? </p> <p>To be fair, having worked for several UK government departments on various contracts, I reckon I&#39;m pretty safe in assuming that the &quot;Junior IT Admin&quot; was really a pimply 16 year old on work experience from school being given vague instructions by a long term civil servant ticking off the days to retirement.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msinfluentials.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=7206" width="1" height="1">
