Only twenty grand?

HM Revenue and Customs is offering a reward for the 2 "misplaced" CDRs, that contain the financial details of up to 25 million UK parents and children.

Is the reward really commensurate with the value that could be realised from such as goldmine?

David Hartnett (acting head of HMRC) faced the Commons Treasury sub-committee and stated that there had been seven incidents of "some significance" involving data security breaches since April 2005. These "may well" indicate systemic failure.

I am feeling safer now...
