The details of 45,000 people, including criminal records and banking and court information have been lost or compromised in the past year by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ).

The MoJ has lost laptops, portable storage devices and papers containing information on recruits, offenders, court appellants and suppliers, the department's annual resource accounts have revealed.

The MoJ didn't notify more than 30,000 of the 45,016 affected by the data breaches, first when MoJ supplier records were compromised in June 2007 and then when the names, addresses, birth dates and alleged offences relating to 3,648 people were lost in November 2007.
