Staff details on latest missing State laptop

The office of the Data Protection Commissioner said yesterday it was investigating the loss of a laptop computer from the Comptroller and Auditor General’s (CAG) office which held information on IDA companies. The comptroller’s office admitted the laptop was one of 16 it has lost since 1999, only one of which has been found.

However, it emerged last night that the computer, believed to have disappeared from a bus stop, also contained personal information about staff employed in at least one Government department.
