why have you read into my point somthing that i've not said? if it wasnt for the data theft, i was going to completly ignore the old story. im not sure how much it smears the Tories when it happened in 2007, other than their appointing the chap running HSBC into government, but thats par for the course and again barely worth a story. im highlighting the biggest news in this story is the apparently lack of security within the banks. Panaroma should have investigated this instead.
Lack of security in banks. Now that is a non-story. I no longer work in financial services but when I did, and monitored the regulator's punishments as part of my role, banks, building societies and insurance companies were being hit with fines for lax information security management or just incompetence on a regular basis. I am sure nothing has changed today for all the hassle a consumer goes through to get access to his or her money. How difficult is it to go home with a laptop (and leave it in the hall as happened with a senior executive of a major high street bank back in the day).
Panorama is concentrating on the right story imho.
