Default Private details of EVERY family in Britain 'lost' by taxman in major security gaffe

Quote:
The Chancellor was rocked by a new crisis this evening over the loss of confidential bank details of virtually every family in Britain.

Alistair Darling had to make an emergency statement to the Commons revealing that records of 7.2 million bank accounts of all parents or guardians who claim child benefits had gone missing.

MPs gasped when he revealed that the names, addresses, bank numbers and National Insurance numbers of all those affected had been on two computer discs which had been lost.

A total of 25 million people's names are on the discs, potentially leaving them all at risk of identity fraud.
Britain's most senior taxman, Paul Gray, quit his £170,000-a-year job as head of HM Customs and Revenue in the wake of the Treasury blunder.

At present it appears the information was at least encrypted, but it defies belief that data of such sensitive nature was despatched in this form without being accompanied with the most basic form of tracking.
Plus ca change..
