Lazy? Incompetent? Tight fisted? Or all three?
According to the BBC the HMRC sent so much information in an unencrypted format because it was too "burdensome" to strip out the sensitive data. And rather than being made by a junior official it is now claimed that the decision was made a quite a senior level.
Brown and Darling made some very specific statements about what happened and why. As time goes on it becomes clear that what they said was incorrect, the question now is "what did they know and when".
If it turns out that they have misled the House of Commons and the country we may have a general election sooner that we expect.

Too 'burdensome' to protect 25 million people's personal data?
A lot of people find rip-off taxes on fuel and cigarettes too 'burdensome', is it therefore OK to buy these things on the cheap off dodgy vendors?
Rumour has it you can buy national insurance numbers like this!
What a joke. It's such a farce that I'm half-minded that they did it on purpose to get the ball rolling on the biometric ID card campaign.
"Well, chances are the fraudsters have your personal details anyway by now, so it's the only sensible way to protect you identity."

that ball is already rolling!
all we need them to explain is how you get your identity back if your biometric data becomes compromised in any way (a marvellous opportunity for cyber crime I'd suggest), or will they just stuff you in detention for 56 days minimum until somebody else can hopefully prove who you are????
