A wanted poster for the famous US hacker - Kevin Mitnick Organisations frequently store
data about individuals that is sensitive and must be kept secure.
For example employers may have records showing personal details of staff
and also details of their salary and payments etc.
Medical records are increasingly stored on computer systems, whilst this
is of great benefit to the doctors and medical professionals providing
treatment, the information must not be seen by others.
It is important that any information stored is kept in secure conditions
to avoid access by unauthorised people (eg. Computer hackers).
The Computer Misuse Act 1990 was introduced to help prevent and control
this type of unauthorised access.
