Asperger's charity loses children's data in laptop theft

Asperger's charity loses children's data in laptop theft
Personal information relating to 80 children with Asperger's syndrome has
been stolen from a Sheffield charity.

A laptop containing names, addresses and medical information was stolen
from Asperger's Children and Carers Together (ACCT).

The computer was taken from the home of an employee and reported in
December.

The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) said the incident breached
data protection and the charity must ensure "information is encrypted".
