I just can't understand how this is still going on with all the recent other cases. Furthermore why are they using laptops. Surely in an office desktop PC's should be the norm with all sensitive data on hard drives or external drives that can be locked away at night ( as I do ) . Why do staff in such offices need laptops? Do they work on them in the loo or on cig breaks or something ? Have they never heard of laptop cable locks ?
AS someone who recently made "the Big Switch", and whose details are probably on that laptop, I am just wondering the legalities of it all should I check my account one day and its €1000 down.
Is it my fault, the bank's, or Bord Gais?
And who is liable?
75,000 customers are to get a letter about this, costing just for postage alone €41,250. How much would it cost to have encrypted the laptops in the first place ?
My very suspicious work colleague reckons ESB were involved.
Sometimes it can actually cost a lot, because most people are too thick to remember passwords. Proper laptop encryption will permanently lock the drive after a few wrong password attempts.
A bit of perspective please. I got the Bord Gais letter. I am one of the 75,000. So someone might find out my Name, Address, Bank Account No. and Sort Code. Quite a few people already have that info. So far as I am aware it can only be used to transfer money into my account and not out of it. People are welcome to make such transfers in.
I'm with the Duke on this one. Any time you write a cheque you give your name and bank account number.
