Laptop sold on eBay hid confidential Home Office disc
The Home Office has launched an investigation into how an optical disc holding confidential information was discovered hidden beneath the keyboard of a laptop bought on the online auction site eBay.
The disc was found by technicians when the computer was taken into a small IT repair company for service.
The laptop had been bought on eBay and taken to Leapfrog Computer repairs in Westhoughton, near Bolton, Greater Manchester, on Tuesday morning.
