Banking data "for sale" on E-Bay
Last week we learned that PA Consulting couldn't be trusted with data on 80,000 UK prisoners. And this week we discovered that the Banks are using idiots to hold customer information - including images of signatures. So what is going on and why are organisations everywhere "leaking data"? The overwhelming reason all these issues occur is because ordinary human beings fail to engage brains and just don't think.

All too often companies invest heavily in technical protection - spending vast sums on state-of-the-art firewalls, but mothing on staff training and awareness work.
