News is just coming in that DVLA has admitted that it sent 1200 personal driver licence details - including name, address and convictions - to the wrong people.
If one of the better-run government agencies can make such a slip, then one is more than ever convinced that carelessness with people's personal information is systemic.
The Evening Post has more details.

Sheer incompetence. What more can one say?
Carelessness - as in failure to appreciate their duty of care - is how I'd put it.
Now the NI agency has owned up to losing 6,000 records in the post. A representative did, however, announce today that they had decided not to use such insecure methods of transmission in future.

A little late don't you think?
