It isn't good enough to just blame one individual; its up to the organisation to ensure that correct procedures are followed. I'm not even sure if Dropbox is permissible for data like this; possibly if it was the business version & not the personal one, but even then, where was this laptop backed up to ?
I the place where I used to work, the disks on laptops were encrypted; so even if they were stolen the data was protected, & there was a backup agent running on the laptop, to ensure data was always backed up. Users were explictly told which folders were backed up, & you got nasty emails if you laptop hadn't synced up in the last week.

No record of fluamicil being ordered
Now we have the how, and it has the potential to take down the whole ridiculous BC/Sky house of cards
So this laptop containing private medical records was stolen, in 2014.
I'm sure there is a Police report to substantiate this claim, in 2014, & not last week ?
And in many countries, when personal/medical data is lost/stolen, there are also other reporting requirements, such as to a data protection commissioner ?
The smell of bovine manure off this is getting stronger by the minute
Ah. But since we're taking about medical records here; there is a much higher standard of behaviour, not just expected; but legally required. So if Sky admit that they failed to meet the minimum legal standards, they have committed a criminal offense, & in theory, the people whose medical records were stolen, can also sue Sky :lol:
and Sir DB can't just slither away, because as Head Honcho, he's the one who is held responsible.
Sky had procedures in place for downloading medical records to dropbox for storage, procedures that Freeman did not follow.
