You will have noticed that I'm not shy in coming forward to slate the UK Government for its abject failure to secure our data and/or protect our privacy. Nevertheless it is important to remember that this is, in fact, a pan-European - if not global - problem (albeit the UK under the tutelage of Bliar and his henchmen has been one of the prime movers to get us into the sorry and parlous state we're now in). So this piece of news from Holland has the dubious benefit of reassuring us that (from the scandalous HMRC fiasco down) we are not alone in having profoundly flawed, if not wholly destitute, government administration systems for our data.
Needless to say I draw no comfort from the fact that we're not the only ones who are having our data strewn all over the place. But it is an indication of the scale of the problem we now face.
