The U.K. Information Commissioner's Office circulated a warning to members of the banking and financial services association U.K. Finance over unlawful financial data sharing. The warning stems from allegations that NatWest Bank shared account details belonging to a former politician with the media. U.K. Information Commissioner John Edwards said banks "should not be using information in a way that is unduly unexpected" and "should not be holding any more information than is necessary."
