It's always about more, more, more data, and sometimes it feels like it's just so that someone can say we have this amount of data stored in our database. So now they have it, they don't know what to do with it nor how to protect it. @Anthony: I know what you mean.

We had to present all of that information, in a binder, to an auditor and we'd receive a "yes/no" response within a DAY. Nowadays people want everything without even considering the ramifications. Perhaps they do consider the ramifications, but without any consequences the ramifications, any notion to be cautious have become side-thoughts. All its going to take, to tighten up security, is for one precedent setting lawsuit to occur. Some really pissed off citizen and one very enterprising attorney...

In each of the cases listed in this "top ten", the number of people whose data was involved ran into the millions.Perhaps it is useful to look back to the wording of the seventh data protection principle as set out in the Data Protection Act 1998 - "Appropriate technical and organisational measures shall be taken against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data."
