UK's families put on fraud alert
Two computer discs holding the personal details of all families in the UK with a child under 16 have gone missing.
Alarm bells should be sounding in Canberra -- as well as in commercial, legal, law enforcement and policy-making circles -- following the news from Britain that data on 25 million people has been lost in the post.
Personal details of half the UK's population stored on two computer discs went missing while being couriered from HM Revenue and Customs, the UK tax office.
"It is inexcusable, I deeply regret it, I unreservedly apologise for what has happened," grovelled Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling.
