A few more facts have been found out about the DVLA missing data saga. The data was lost on a hard drive, it is believed to have been thrown out as rubbish and is currently unknown if it was encrypted or in plaintext. The data on the hard drive was, Names, Addresses and phone numbers but no financial data was stored on the disc.
Question I have is this: Why is our data been sent to the US? How did it get to the US? Should Private contractors be dealing with personal details of British Citizens? If this happened in May, What was been done to find the details? Why weren't we informed earlier?
Oh and, When can I have your resignation, Gordon?
Update: The data was meant to be in a "Security Facility" in Iowa, USA but has not been found. The Information Commission has judged the loss to not be "substantial", As no D.O.Bs or National Insurance numbers have been lost.
