I must admit to being fairly unsurprised to learn of the amount of data lost but also somewhat concerned.
A quick email later and my sense of dread deepened as I was informed that there
MAY, how can they only think that there might?, be information regarding my application on the laptop. Sure enough this was accompanied by a raft of documentaion they required to confirm my identity before passing on any more information.
However, once I'd responded with a fairly strongly worded damning indictment of the process so far and a refusal to release anymore personal information I was, considering this is JPAC we're dealing with here, frankly astounded to recieve on my private overseas mobile number a phone call, identity check over the phone and confirmation of exactly what data was on the laptop.
So yes, Lt/PO Moron should be hung drawn and quartered and yes
OUR data security as a whole is shocking
BUT and I'm choking on my frikadellen as I type this, well done JPAC...
