UK Data Loss: No Harm, No Foul

CD_Object.gif UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown was asked MP Edward Leigh during a meeting with the Parliamentary IT body Pitcom about the IT security issues at HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and whether they represented a systemic failure. According to the Register, Brown said there was a difference between rules not being followed and failure of procedures and systems. (True, but irrelevant.)

Brown also added that no one had lost any money.

Right then, no harm, no foul. Play on!
