No need to panic eh....
All my personal details are missing (essentially available to anyone) and there's no need to panic. If my wife had lost my bank details and names of all our kids and names and NI numbers etc on a piece of paper in the street I would be panicing - so whats different here ?
And no doubt the government will keep saying the discs are 'just mislaid' in some civil service building (they just dont know where) - and at some point the discs will magically appear (once someone makes another copy and lets on it was the first ones they lost)
Not knowing where they are is just as laughable as knowing they are in the hands of the worst criminals in the UK (which no doubt they will be in the next few weeks).
To think they won't get into the wrong hands is naive... there is too much money to be made from them and too many people already want to get their hands on them. I would say 30% of people if they found the said CDs would make a copy of them. Not necessarily for criminal intent, but just for the sake of it. That is when the floodgates open, and the copies will start appearing everywhere over the net etc.
Those 2 CDs are like goldust right now (and are probably 2 of the most wanted CDs in the world right now) -and golddust has a magic appearance to most people. Theres just too many things people could do with all that info.... and I doubt this fiasco will ever end... it will go on for years and years. People will always have the same kids names, the same NI number & the most likely have the same bank details and address. That will stay the same for years to come, and its now on same bloomin CDs that are lying around somewhere. And at the same time people will start using their kids names for password again in a few months time when its all forgotten about again. Thats when the problems will start up.
