Karin Spaink provides an English summary of some news reports that a Rabobank employee lost a USB drive containing personal and financial data on 3000 customers:
An employee of the Rabobank lost his USB stick, which held the data of 3000 customers. Apart from the personal information of each of those customers, the stick contained information about the various forms of investments these customers had engaged in, plus the grand sum of their total investments. Somebody found the USB stick and gave it to a regional newspaper, which then contacted the bank. The bank was ’surprised’, which indicated that the employee hadn’t reported the USB stick as missing.
