Stolen UK govt. laptop
OK folks, nothing too surprising here...............or is there.
Basically a stolen Home Office (UK govt.) computer was taken into a repair shop:

The "owner" claimed to have bought it on e-bay.
When the engineer opened it up they found an encrypted CD under the keyboard. OK the disk was encrypted.
Now, the thing that strikes me is that the only way you get a CD under the keyboard of a laptop is by opening the thing up and putting it there.
That tells me that there is an employee in that government department who has taken confidential data and smuggled it out.
This one could get very interesting
