UK government departments leak personal data
 

Freedom of Information requests show a bit of a mess

A report based on Freedom of Information (FoI) requests shows that the UK government is losing rather a lot of personal data.

Apricorn which makes 256-bit AES XTS hardware-encrypted USB drives, today announced new findings from Freedom of Information (FoI) requests and data from annual reports of 17 public bodies. The responses indicate that government departments have reported thousands of personal data breaches and numerous notifications to the ICO between 2019-2020.

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency's (DVLA) annual report and accounts 2019 to 2020 revealed it had submitted a total of 181 notifications to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the past year alone.
