Comments:UK government loses personal information of 25 million people

Don't think I would want these families information if they are on government assistance!!
 * Glad to hear you don't want to steal from them because you think they are poor! However perhaps the article is not clear for non-uk readers. All families with children in the UK, rich and poor are on the database as it is a non-means tested benefit, effectively just a negative tax for parents.Billlion 12:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't thier contract be reviewed? Loosing something this important on what they knew was Govt data is a fairly serious matter, I wonder if the Royal Mail (which used to handle this sort of things) would have treated such items so casually? 62.56.76.71 17:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

not just a coincidence?
3 major losses of data since last month can't just be coincidence can it? sounds like someone might be targeting this information. Wikidsoup 20:38, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Encryption v. password protected.
Can anyone explain how the disks, or possibly files, were "password protected" without being encrypted? Is it likely that files were created by a database program that just uses weak encryption, or obscurification?Billlion 12:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
