fox20thc Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 In the sunday paper today, cuplrits included HSBC (who appeared to be the worst offender) barclays and the woolwich. Bank statements, salary information, loan applications and spending habits all put in the appropriate sensitive paper bags and subsequently put out on the street for the binmen. The journalist actually had enough information to trace customers back to their homes and present them with their data! So much for protecting our information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okka north Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 This is not the first time. Private industry have a long way to go before they actually have practices in place before they can say our data is protected. And people wonder why identity theft is so easy. Disgusting.
