STATEMENT RE: DATA BREACH IN RELATION TO LICENSING
RENEWALS
This morning (22 August 2018) we discovered a data breach in relation to licensing renewals
affecting around 950 customers. We are urgently investigating the cause of this breach, which
was due to a technical issue at our sub-contractor
system, and have stopped any further licence renewal emails until this is resolved. No bank
details were released during the breach.
We are contacting those customers that have been affected but any customer with concerns
can contact the Trust customer service team on 0303 040 4040.

Never mind the Eastern Europeans or Calais migrants - the Russians have probably got Foxy's details now.

" One angry customer tweeted: 'Not even an apology. Your responsibility to keep our information safe. Disappointed.' " "It has become clear that no company or government department can be trusted with people's data. The fines should be paid directly to those whose data has been lost. £10,000 per customer per incident would soon cause companies etc to protect data better." Who are the real criminals? The hackers, or Superdrug for ripping you off selling rubbish? www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6083887/Superdrug-customer-details-hit-hackers.html

I think we would be shocked if we really knew who had our details. It all goes to show how inept governments are, and what a bunch of liars these companies are when they tell you they won't divulge your details to third parties.
If you think about it, you can collect a heap of information just by observing and taking notes, and listening to peoples' telephone conversations - such as when they're giving their credit card number AND its security code!

Why did you buy two tubes of Aquafresh toothpaste in the Co-Op last Thursday, Patty, wouldn't one have done? And sponge scourers, a box of Cook's Matches, and a packet of Uncle Ben's Mexican Rice. Got your receipt right here

It's been a multiple breach evidently, and possibly more than 900 people impacted. Bloody amateurs.

"The CRT have sent me a licence renewal email with a PDF attached, unfortunately there is also another 320 PDFs for other people’s licence renewals including all their personal details, I have informed them but no reply yet, is it just me?" "This morning (22 August 2018) the Canal & River Trust discovered a data breach in relation to licensing renewals affecting around 950 customers. The breach was due to a technical issue at our sub-contractor and not a breach of the Trust’s security system. We do not believe that anyone has been put at financial risk but the Trust offers sincere apologies for this error. We are contacting those customers that have been affected (look out for an email) but any customer with concerns can contact the Trust customer service team on 0303 040 4040. Damian" (Damian who? Never gives his surname!)"In the CRT statement they make it clear that the mistake lies with a 'subcontractor' therefor surely said 'subbi' is at fault and liable?" "Subcontractor may have some liability, responsibility ultimately rests with the data controller which will be CRT. Best we can hope for is subcontractor has insurance which will pay the fine."
