DPA notices, please

If anyone does still feel like having their personal data compromised by an organisation so clueless that they did not know their DPA responsibilities, perhaps they should send notices under s11(1) (reducing the marketing value of the data to zero) and s10(1) (stating that demanding, processing and retaining the personal data causes "substantial distress, which would be unwarranted"). "If" they do not respond to a s10(1) notice within 21 days of receiving it, they can be reported to the Information Commissioner for failing to comply with their responsibilities under s10(3).

No evidence that constituents were affected?

At least none yet, but that assumes none of his constituents had written to him for help or advice with banking or other financial services problems, or any other confidential matters. So no account numbers mentioned, no social engineering goldmine there either and absolutely nothing embarrassing to blackmail constituents with ? It must be so reassuring for Boot that his constituents will be unable to prove that any exploitation of anything confidential or sensitive they sent to their MP was a result of this compromise.
