STOP LOOSING OUR DATA!

Posted in rant at 11:46 pm by coldclimate

edit: Oh look - another big data fuck up
I’m getting bored of all these government agencies losing my data and it coming out in the papers weeks later, and I’m sure you are too. As such, I urge you to sign the following petition(if you are in the UK) - I’m rebranding it the tell me you lost my data petition.

Encryption people - it’s not difficult. openSSL is free, easy to push your stuff through and not terribily easy to break, so long as you don’t marker pen the password on the disc.

    Even better than losing my data on disc, they managed to lose my actual birth certificate … and then find it again a month later after some nagging.

    that terrible! Digital data is far safer, if it is handled correctly, except generally, it isn’t.
