BBC NEWS | Wales | Missile data found on hard drives

Sensitive information for shooting down intercontinental missiles as well as bank details and NHS records was found on old computers, researchers say.

Of 300 hard disks bought randomly at computer fairs and an online auction site, 34% still held personal data.

(Are missile defence plans now classed as personal data?)

And even though it contains information about intercontinental missiles, the researcher still insists:
Professor Andrew Blyth said: "It's not rocket science - we used standard tools to analyse the data".
Isn't it time to retire that metaphor anyway? Hasn't rocket science become relatively easy?

Especially when you can find the details on old disk drives bought from car boot sales and eBay.
