UK's families put on fraud alert
Two computer discs holding the personal details of all families in the UK with a child under 16 have gone missing.
The Child Benefit data on them includes name, address, date of birth, National Insurance number and, where relevant, bank details of 25 million people.
Chancellor Alistair Darling said there was no evidence the data had gone to criminals - but urged people to monitor bank accounts "for unusual activity".
The Conservatives described the incident as a "catastrophic" failure.

Our friends at The New York Times are quick to point out, "this is the largest incident of its kind in Europe, though there have been larger data leaks in the United States."
Everyone, all together now: "Yeah, I Figured That Much."
