Police on terror alert over theft of top secret records on computer database | News | This is London

I hope the encryption is better than usual on this data! I also hope that the computer is recovered really really soon! And that the terrorists or criminals who stole it get a bullet behind the ear.

Police on terror alert over theft of top secret records on computer database | News | This is London: "The raid at the high-security head office of Forensic Telecommunication Services Ltd (FTS) at Sevenoaks, Kent, raised fears that vital evidence from undercover investigations may have been lost or have fallen into the wrong hands. The theft of such sensitive data will reopen the debate about whether private companies should be employed to carry out crucial security or Government work under contract. The stolen computer server - a metal box the size of a large DVD player - contained details of who made calls on mobiles, their exact location and precisely when the calls were made. Evidence from phone taps is one of the most important tools in the war on terrorism and in major police investigations into organised crime, murder, kidnap, armed robbery, tax evasion and illegal immigration."
