An
Apple Mac laptop belonging to an Army captain has been stolen the local McDonalds whilst the officer was tucking into a Big Mac. Following the fiasco last January when an MoD laptop containing the personal data of 600,000 people was lost, staff had apparently been instructed not to take their laptops into cafes and bars. But at least the MoD has been able to assure us that the data on the laptop was encrypted and password protected ...... but then they would say that, wouldn't they?
