Bank customers' details sold for £35 on eBay
LONDON (AFP) - A data processing firm has launched an urgent review after a staff member sold a computer on eBay containing the personal details of a million bank customers, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.The computer server was bought online for 35 pounds by Andrew Chapman, an IT manager from Oxford who discovered the information on the hard drive.
It included bank account numbers, phone numbers, mothers' maiden names and signatures of one million customers of American Express, NatWest and the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), the Independent newspaper reported.
The server had originally belonged to Mail Source, a data processing firm which is part of Graphic Data which holds financial information for banks and other organisations.

Morton, in Canada, this guy MIGHT have got 6 months in jail.
What do you think about American justice?
"President of the Ontario Bar Association"
I didn't know that you were the President of the Bar.
Congratulations and you should be proud of yourself for that accomplishment.
Good job.
Thanks J, My sense is he would have got more than 6 months -- probably low Pen time -- say 3 yrs.
I agree he might have got 3 years but taking APR into consideration, he would have been out on parole after only 6 months.
So really he is only serving 6 months.
Amazing the difference in mentality between the two countries.
well, not really. The US release times for State prisons can be even shorter than here. But I agree truth in sentencing is a very real issue and one that should be addressed
I drop a leave a response whenever I like a post on a site or if I have something to contribute to the
conversation. It is caused by the passion communicated in the post I looked at.
And after this article "Oopsie!". I was excited enough to post a comment :-P I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Is it just me or do some of these remarks look like written by brain dead people? :-P And, if you are writing at additional online sites, I would like to keep up with you. Could you make a list every one of all your social pages like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
