I do n’t know how many times people have to deal other people ’s personal information on eBay for everyone to learn about security , but patently it ’s not enough yet : an ex - employee sold his troupe - provided computing machine on the auction internet site for $ 65 , carry banking data belonging to more than a million hoi polloi . The new twist this time : these people are ill-gotten rich , mellow - street depository financial institution client of society like American Express . gratefully for them , the guy who bought the computer was not Robin Hood . The hard drive in the computer contain , completely in the candid , fluid sound numbers , bank accounts , mother ’s maiden name ( used for security ) , and signatures , which gives access to billion of dollars . It belong to to British company call Graphic Data , which apparently safeguards information for fiscal organizations . Fortunately for NatWest , the Royal Bank of Scotland , and American Express , the computer was purchase by a effective guy , an IT manager from Oxford , England , called Andrew Chapman .
