FN-GM Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Oh dear, yet again this has happened! USB key to 4,000 vulnerable people's front doors lost ? The Register
mats Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I got the impression (from the local rag, Leicestershire news, Jobs, Property, Cars, Sports | This is Leicestershire) that the info is all encrypted so (if it's decent encryption) there shouldn't be an issue.
AyatollahPies Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I've said it before and I'll say it again. Until the process of protecting data is seen as a vital BUSINESS process and not an I.T process, we will continue to hear stories like this.
localzuk Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 So long as it is encrypted, there's no real issue here. The whole point of encryption is that it makes 'losing' such things a non-issue.
penfold Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Sounds good to be honest, ok they shouldn't have lost it, but if it's encypted and they have changed all keycodes which where contained onthe USB then it has been handled quite well.
