The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency in Northern Ireland has lost the personal details of 6,000 people.
The head of the agency said the information was not encrypted. It included details of 7,685 vehicles and more than 6,000 vehicle keepers.
The data includes the keeper's name, address, registration mark of the vehicle, chassis number, make and colour.

Building society loses staff data
Leeds Building Society has mislaid information containing the personal details of its 1,000-strong workforce.
The West Yorkshire-based mutual, the seventh largest in the UK, has warned its employees to be vigilant as the data includes bank and salary details.
In a statement to its employees, it said there was no evidence the data had been taken from the building.
The information was lost when the human resources department was moved during a refurbishment of its Leeds head office.
Referring to this move, the statement said: "There has been a significant amount of disruption to achieve this in a short space of time and, whilst every care has been taken, some information is yet unaccounted for in the move from the 1st to the 4th floor.
In the extremely unlikely event that any member of staff suffers a loss as a result of this situation the society will make full reimbursement
Statement to staff
"This contains the details you receive on your payslip, some of which is already in the public domain (i.e. on cheques, in the telephone directory, etc).
"We believe that the details are still in the building and are doing all that is possible to confirm this."
Searches of the head office building in Albion Street, Leeds, were continuing on Tuesday, a spokesman said.
The statement went on: "The missing information is not sufficient in itself to allow an unauthorised person to access a building society or bank account but we ask that you are vigilant in regard to the account into which your salary is paid.
"In the extremely unlikely event that any member of staff suffers a loss as a result of this situation, the society will make full reimbursement."
Managers were alerted to the problem last Thursday but staff were only told about it on Monday night.
The data loss comes amid raised concerns about the security of personal data following the disappearance of two discs from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs containing the details of 25 million people.
Leeds Building Society is the UK's seventh largest with 70 branches in the UK and a call centre in Leeds. However, customers are not affected.

"Ms Kelly apologised but said risks were not substantial" - Only names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.

Yes scuba this is 3 million learner drivers details now gone missing. The original post was only 6000. Obviously a different story but as you say why lost in US. All part of US wanting their noses everywhere. Full Spectrum Domination which includes "intelligence"
Funny how we seem to be getting a plethora of "lost data" stories hitting the headlines.

Tony Blair has made damn sure everyone in this country is on the American Database. We are tracked from space where ever we go. Your number plate can be seen on the satellite. But they still can not find Bin Laden. You can't make it up.
Alot of this information can be found in David Icke's books. |
