Nursing home fined following laptop theft
A nursing home was fined following a laptop theft which contained residents’ details.
A nursing home in County Antrim has been fined £15,000 for failing to adequately protect sensitive data relating to its staff and residents.
This story is a look back in history but reminds me of similar incidents involving many different types of business including a building society.
The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) launched the investigation in 2014. The unencrypted laptop, taken home by a member of staff at Whitehead Nursing Home, was stolen in a domestic burglary.
