Information on American Express, NatWest and Royal Bank of Scotland customers were found on the computer's hard drive. The data includes names, addresses, mobile phone numbers, bank account numbers, sort codes, credit card numbers, mothers' maiden names and even signatures. It comes just days after the Home Office admitted confidential information on every prisoner in the country has been lost. And it was revealed that more than 3,200 laptops and mobile phones containing sensitive information have gone missing or have been stolen from Government departments since 2001. Full story

![]() Government is not stupid, they outsource the collection of personal data to the private sector instead. Actually you can't trust Big Brother but Big Business is not less dangerous. Quote:
