Depts reveal data losses and breaches

["Jon Turner" <jjturner () gmail com>]

The DWP's resource accounts said its biggest breach was the retention
of two discs by a contractor. The discs contained the data of 9,000
people and forced the department to notify law enforcement. The
department also suffered two other incidents. One in July 2007 that
potentially affected 7,800 and one in January when papers with data on
45 people were lost.
