Tourist attraction staff details on stolen computer

The bank details of several hundred staff from a museum have gone astray because an IT worker, in contravention of company security policy, had their laptop in their car - and of course it was stolen. The staff union claims that management initially told them there was no problem, but later under pressure, confessed all.

NRM bosses blasted after theft of laptop containing personal details

"UNIONS are calling for an urgent investigation after a laptop containing the bank details of workers at one of York’s top tourist attractions was stolen from a car.

The computer – which also held personal and pension data relating to hundreds of staff employed by the National Museum of Science and Industry (NMSI), whose sites include York’s National Railway Museum (NRM) – was taken from a vehicle belonging to a private contractor working for the company."
