In our *facepalm* story of the week:
The Ministry of Defence in the UK has admitted that 121 of its USB memory sticks have been lost or stolen since 2004. The Ministry does not know how or when the sticks came to be missing, but says that some did contain secret information. This follows the news that 658 laptops have also been lost or stolen from the MoD over the last 4 years, nearly twice what was previously thought.
Nice to feel safe, eh?
