Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) has been fined £120,000 for serious data protection failings after a USB memory stick containing the personal details of employees was lost last year.
UK privacy watchdog the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) subsequently found that just two of the airport’s 6500 staff had been trained in data protection.
The thumb drive in question was found by a member of the public on October 16 last year and handed to a national newspaper, which made a copy, before returning it to the airport.
