The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) has fined the Nursing and Midwifery Council 150,000 after it lost three unencrypted DVDs. It is alleged that the DVDs contained evidence and personal information from two vulnerable children. Deputy commissioner and director of data protection at the ICO, David Smith, explained, It would be nice to think that data breaches of this type are rare, but were seeing incidents of personal data being mishandled again and again.
