e-mail and Security of Personal data. BA.

I have a common e-mail set up. I use Outlook on my pc, and the mail is through BT. From the wisdom on here, I try to ensure that I do not do stupid things - like sending any personal data over e-mail. I have no "special" encryption, so I assume that all e-mails can be read by the naughty folk.

I was extremely surprised to read an e-mail from BA yesterday. "[email protected]" sent me, in open text, my full APIS data to check.

The full APIS data set. Everything a con-artist would need to set themselves up as me. Surely this is Unlawful?

If it is not unlawful, it must be stupid, or am I missing something?
