On January 11, the Information Commissioner ("ICO") issued a statement calling for tougher
sentences against people convicted of stealing personal data.
Citing an incident in which a car rental employee sold almost
28,000 customers' records for £5,000 and was fined only
£1,000, the ICO stated that he would like to "see the
courts given more options: suspended sentences, community service,
and even prison in the most serious cases."
