Data Protection Breaches: Who fines the FSA?
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has lost 41 mobile devices which contained confidential documents and e-mails in the past three years. Laptops, memory sticks and Blackberrys were all lost, highlighting the growing problem that loss of the devices brings the owner, the company and the risks to information security.
- Memory sticks were encrypted
- Laptops were encrypted
- Blackberrys were password-protected (Blackberry vs iPhone security will be examined in a later article)
- All other devices were remotely disabled

Great inventiveness, but I expect that doesn't mean that the subjects will be entirely split between the sites as a web designer AND developer, this is the grounds why I like this website so much. Not various blogs have this nice flow between both subjects, so continue and good luck with the fresh site also.
