Sloppy Brits spill data beans

The past year or so, I've heard plenty of reports on UK institutions losing data to the public. This latest article is of a bank selling an old PC on eBay without properly destroying the data on it. Somehow I find it difficult to believe that these type of accidents only happen in the UK. Why wouldn't it happen in other European countries?

So, the big question here is: "Are the Brits very sloppy with their data, or are they just not so good at covering it up?"

We can also do it very well. I remember high officials putting computers with sensitive data on them on the street for the garbage collectors, and losing USB sticks. It is very difficult to keep data safe these days, especially when you have to trust people who don't have any clua about what you can do with computers.

BTW, gooooooood girl is a spammer.
