The U.K. Information Commissioner's Office fined a former employee of automotive services company RAC 5,000 GBP for stealing data belonging to victims of traffic accidents. An ICO investigation found data related to more than 100 road incidents on two phones seized from the former employee. "Being involved in a road traffic accident can be deeply distressing — to then have this used and your data stolen as a result, adds insult to injury," ICO Director of Investigations Stephen Eckersley said.
