MI6 gets into the secret losing business

Posted on April 27, 2009 by Robin

True to the Labour Governments’ form, yet ANOTHER serious data breach has been executed by government agencies. What’s surprising this time, is that it was done by a trained MI6 operative, who lost all the details about covert anti-drug operations in Columbia! Yes, that would be contact names, agent names and adresses and other details, operation details, etc etc etc. And how?

She left it in her handbag on the bus.

Now the article doesn’t mention if the data was encrypted, but considering that absolutely nothing in the UK Government is (because they quite surprisingly can’t do what millions of other people can – for free), it’s safe bets that it wasn’t.

Of course, Jacqui Smith still thinks centralised databases are the dogs bollocks. Trust the government with your private data – what could go wrong?!
