# Well, it went in the internal mail did it not?
My sis used to be a fairly high up civil servant and said she's enver known anything to go missing in the internal mail...

It's all a bit fishy if you ask me. Which you didn't.

# Yeah,
but they shouldn't need to burn stuff to CD. The issue is, their database is centralised. Obviously they need to share that data with places around the country, but the system has no encrypted data connections anywhere else. So they obviously tend to just email or post the bank accounts of all the people in the country to other places. I'm sure this instance isn't the fist time they've done this; it surely happens all the time because they don't have much choice.
The bosses do know about the insecure system, as does Mr. Darling if he has any competence at his job. So his failure is not to have instigated a drive to improve the security.

# Surely the fault of the head of IT??
Unless they don't have one, in which case that's a very serious oversight indeed...
