How do you prevent an incident such as an employee letting details about a client slip when they have a few drinks? Even small things like sending an email with a spelling mistake in the location. You can take lots of preventative measures but it's just not possible to completely protect data.

Rang Irish Water to clarify how to read properly and asked for someone to call and check all is OK, They called when I was out of the country, rang me afterwards and said that their fitting is OK and there is no leak 200mm up from the stop cock. Dring the course of the conversation the call person didn't have a reading from the engineer who called and had to clarify if my 17yr old daughter is entitled to an allowance (she is of 21,000litres). So I told her that I read the meter on Wednesday it was 26xxx (xxx being red digits), this equates to 26,000 litres. So she said you may well have a leak, Great I say to myself. I arrived home yesterday to an empty house and I checked and yes the dial is moving, it looks like a litre every 1min 40sec Round this up to 2mins a litre this means 30litres per hour and on to 720 litres per day!! So Irish Water rang yesterday as I was checking and I said there may be a leak and what do I do, he says call a plumber! I said I thought there was a first fix free policy announced and he says not until 2015. So we both conclude that I do one of the following… 1) call plumber and fix it now off my own bat, no reimbursement from Irish Water or 2) wait for the first fix free policy to start and allow water to leak,if it is a leak. Questions.. 1) anyone else come across this? Having a meter installed and the meter indicating that there is a leak 2) What do I do? fix now or wait 3) anyone have suggestions as to identifying where the leak is?

I want to know EXACTLY what is happening with every drop of water I am supposed to pay for. All I know of (apart from data breach) is that they've opened 6 new office and a headquarters in Dublin (including a €55k gym) & paid €64m to consultants. They're leaking money as though it coming from the dodgy burst pipes they're meant to be maintaining. Again, plucking figures out of the sky (where water apparently doesn't come from...), jobs for the boys, bonuses etc. and ****ing muggins here will pay for it all. So will future generations. Where have I seen this craic before? Oh, yea, Anglo Irish Bank.
