Jeremy Clarkson Hacked

In a recent blog article I talked about the fact that the UK government has lost computer discs containing 25 million peoples records including information such as bank account details and national insurance numbers.

In his usual highly uninformed (but hilarious) way (ref: his comments on motorcyclists) he wrote in the Sun (rubbish tabloid) that this loss by the government wasn’t a big deal as after all the account details could be used only to put money in ... so to prove his point he published his own bank account details in the newspaper ...

He was therefore surprised when he saw his bank statement and realised that somebody had setup a monthly direct debit of £500 to the Diabetes Uk charity. I suspect if he has any honour he will cancel the Direct Debit but let them keep the £500 that has already been taken. He is lucky he attracted the attention of someone looking to prove a point not someone who actually wanted to rip him off ...
It was probably a tech savvy biker ☺

It’s a funny and fitting story - but it does prove a point - we should all be more careful in future ...
