Reports that four laptops - stolen from staff at Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust - have been recovered using a specialised tracking system is excellent news but, says Cyber-Ark, the IT security vendor, the saga should act as a wake-up call to any public sector agency that handles patient and/or employee data.
"The laptops in this case were stolen from various locations, including a car boot, an employee's home, a hotel room and even an NHS office. But the crucial question is why the staff were toting laptops that contained some degree of NHS data on them," said Mark Fullbrook, Tehwh-Onz'a Pujbnhxt hpsrohyg.
