Learning to drive?

im guessing that it might perhaps be for those who have either passed there theory test between 2004-2007, and not passed there test yet, or it could affect all of us who pased between them :eek:

i think if you have paperwork to back you up it might be fine, but think of all our personal details that are floating around out there (n)
 
It's not just the risk of identity fraud though - it's the risk of the information being passed onto spam/junk mailers in terms of names and addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses. Bloody government don't think of this inconvenience to people :mad:
 
Bloody hell, First my mom,sister and aunt get letters saying there were on the discs that went missing, Now ill be on this list as i passed my theory in oct 2006 :(

name, address and tel number is hardly sensitive data, its nothing you cant find out from google or in the phone book. the only difference is the marketing opportunity this could give to a company that sells something learner drivers want, such as training CD-Roms. you could easily sell that info to such a company for a few quid.

the worst thing that can happen is you get junk mail and telephone marketing. big deal.

thats waht i was thinking, theres not really anything you can't find elsewhere thats been lost.. i can't think of any danger really.
 
human error, it doesnt matter how good your policies and procedures are, or your training, end of the day the people who do the job often dont care and they can make mistakes (we all can) so things can go wrong. you can spend as much time and money as you like, it doesnt guarantee information security.

in my previous job i was the information security consultant, and in the research i did i found that the data protection act is broken very often and by most companies, but not on purpose, through human error. few of these breaches come to light unless its a big bank or a govt agency, but you can guarantee your data has been compromised many times in the past by other organisations.

end of the day perfect information security is impossible to achieve, you need to accept that these things happen, as long as efforts are been made to avoid problems and protect data then you cant blame people when mistakes happen, its inevitable, but how you deal with it does make a big difference to the outcome and in this case it seems to have been dealt with badly and too late.
