Worse government data loss ever caused by a bit of a muddle say police

Remember the big fuss that spread all over the world when HM Revenue and Customs, the UK government department that deals with income tax and the like, managed to lose discs containing the financial details of 25 million people? amazingly, the official Independent Police Complaints Commission enquiry into the shameful affair has concluded that no one can be blamed for the HMRC data loss, but rather it happened as a result of the culture in the department. Citing a lack of adequate training and support, the reports says it was just a bit of a muddle really.
