No letter received at this location. Anyone with an idea when a blue moon is due?
This week's RAF News says that the MOD have written to everyone affected by the data loss. Has anyone received a letter? .......

Got my letter today for all the use it is. Just said that the lost disk contained 'general service information' relating to me....but was no more specific than that! 
However AVM Bryant did suggest that I visit www.identitytheft.or.uk to get guidance on further protection against identity theft!!!
Tw@t.
Needless to say his rather crap letter has not 'allayed my concerns' as he felt it might.

You've gotta larff. Also received my letter having given the two pieces of proof of identity each identifying me as Grey Coat and yet they have managed to address the letter to Pink Coat which coincidentally happens to be my father's name who also served in the RAF, retiring in 1989. You have to marvel at the level of incompetence.

Just got my letter this morning - 16 Oct. The information that related to me was "security vetting casework information".
Bloody marvelous.
Still, the 2-star said sorry (with his photocopied signature)
All's well then isn't it

Re-reading the Information Commissioner's enforcement notice, it struck me that he had found that ECHR Article 8 had been unlawfully interfered with due to the failure to maintain principles 3 and 7 of the DPA.
I've now been the subject of data loss on three occasions due to MoD...can I hear the sound of a cash register....ker-ching!

I agree. But what can I do. You have to be pragmatic about these things. If I were to loose/steal info, at best my arse would be hauled over the coals.
But I'm just a number (and thanks to the useless sods who look after my personal info I would hate to think how many scallies have my service number by now) and I am under no illusion that the 2-star or anyone at the top really gives a ****. It could have been worse though, my last "stunning" OJAR might have made it onto the streets for general consumption
I am intelligent enough and cynical enough to know that apologies mean nothing. In fact I feel quite honoured that they spent 34 pence on the postage, but there again an email on DII would never have got through would it (farce number 8million three hundred and fifty six thousand.................)

Theft
Well probably identity theft as a result of the data lost.

Bump.
A good few weeks later, I have heard nothing - sent the photocopies off. Has anyone affected actually received copies of their data, as for the first RN laptop loss? Are they sitting on this until the first three-monthly monitoring report has been released so they can say they are doing something about it?
Also, call me a cynic, but I find it hard to believe the loss has been taken seriously, fobbed off with a link to a Home Office identity theft website. Has anyone actually received any proper advice or aftercare? Is there actually a proper risk assessment carried out on these data losses?
I'm thinking about contacting my MP to try and get some answers.

Did anyone else see the notice on the Nov pay statements that went along the lines that we must all protect data to ensure that it is not lost or stolen.
