So I read that the uk.gov (as it was known in the old days of Janet when they did domain names backwards) has managed to lose the personal details of around 10,000 habitual offenders and all 84,000 prisoners in England and Wales. The data was on a USB key, unencrypted natch, and includes their names, addresses and dates of birth.
Am I the only one to imagine what would happen if some wannabee crim found it and used it as identity theft fodder. And whether there'd be a certain poetic justice in that?
