There's jurisdiction for that?
- eftpotrm 15y agoIf their servers have been compromised to leak the data, should be. They ran the survey and UK and European data protection law makes data leaks the responsibility of the data holder.
- sunchild 15y agoThey were one of the first companies to admit that the RSA SecurID exploit compromised them over the past months, too. Link to story: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/052611-lockheed-martin-outage.html http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/052611-lockheed-martin...
- beck5 15y agoYes, they will probably be the information controller under the DPA and have to be extreamlly careful that our data is safe. Even keeping a copy in a non EU country is very hard.
- davweb 15y agoUS companies can store data from EU countries if they comply with the "Safe Harbour" principles. Organisations can self-certify and as yet no company has been challenged as failing to meet the guidelines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_Harbor_Principles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_Harbor_Principles
- StrawberryFrog 15y agoWhy would jurisdiction enter into someone in the UK suing the company that processed the UK census data? Thier data. I don't know if antihero is in the UK, but if they aren't, people in the UK should do it instead. I am disturbed that my data could leak like this.
- antihero 15y agoI'm in the UK and for some crazy reason filled out my census correctly, so yeah, I think there's grounds for DPI lawsuit action.
- robin_reala 15y agoWell, the crazy reason is the threatened fine of up to £1000.
- smcl 15y agoI didn't fill mine in, whoops
- arethuza 15y agoAs you would expect, there is a legal entity for Lockheed Martin in the UK. Unless there is some crazy immunity for companies working on government contracts (which wouldn't surprise me) I don't see why they couldn't be sued.
