A “Facebook generation” of workers are risking data breaches because they are careless with technology and personal information held on databases, the Britain’s information watchdog warned yesterday. Richard Thomas, the Information Commissioner, also warns that the creation of more and more databases is increasing the risks of things going wrong. He disclosed that the number of data losses reported to his office has almost doubled in the past six months."
