50,000 personnel records have been stolen from the RAF, rather than the usual case of “lost data”.
The theft actually took place on 17th September 2008, but has only just been reported publicly.
Three USB hard drives, containing 50,000 records of personnel information, with everything from names, and dates of birth to confidential staff reports, were stolen from the Service Personnel and Veterans Agency office at RAF Innsworth , near Gloucester.
The data was, of course, not encrypted. When will they learn?
Its not even the first time the MoD has had data stolen or lost
