Commenting on reports that the South London healthcare trust has admitted to losing two unencrypted USB sticks containing the medical details of around 630 adults and children, Cryptzone says that this comes almost two years after the deputy Information Commissioner gave an Infosecurity Show keynote in which he revealed that a third of the 30 major data breaches the ICO handles each month involve the NHS in one shape or another (http://bit.ly/IPO5iy).

 Grant Taylor, UK Vice President of the European IT threat mitigation specialist, says that this latest NHS data faux pas shows that we are almost certainly no further along in the healthcare security space from where we were two years ago.

 15% check for work emails on their phone as soon as they wake up

 London, 17th April, 2012 – When asked what is the first thing they do in the morning, only a quarter of Londoners said they kissed their partner – compared to 42% who said that they checked their phone for messages, work emails or even to look at Facebook! The street survey was commissioned by Infosecurity Europe in the run up to the 2012 Infosecurity show running from the 24th – 26th April 2012, in Earls Court, London. 

The survey showed that men and women check their phones the same amount in the morning – but while more men check for messages, women are actually more likely to be on the lookout for work emails. Paul Kennedy, 25, said, “My mobile phone is my alarm, so when I turn it off I always check for messages and emails at the same time – my girlfriend doesn’t notice so I don’t get into trouble!”
