IT workers were immediately called in by chief constable Mick Giannasi to tighten system security so similar incidents cannot occur in the future. Gwent Police has now reported the breach to the Information Commissioner, as required under the Data Protection Act, and to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

Outlook -> Contacts -> journo@thereg.co.uk (del)

That'll be £500 please.

The Register has now deleted the file in cooperation with Gwent Police’s professional standards officers, who travelled to our London offices two days after being contacted.

Yer right. Whatever.....

Would have been nice if the Register had contacted the force in confidence to deal with this issue and maybe save a load of crap and maybe someone poor sap their job.
