Here’s a very good time line of when and how much personal data has been lost over the past twelve months.
Now, if this is only the tip of the iceberg – as we might expect. How much more data has been lost/stolen that we don’t know about?
Also bear in mind that in most of these cases, the loss was not reported straight away as the various departments/companies struggled to find the missing data before it was public knowledge!!!
I expect the events that happened in the commercial companies have resulted in very serious consequences for the individuals, but I bet the same has not happened to the relevant government employees!
Bring on new National ID Card scheme!!! NOT!
