Bloody IT


Doctor recruitment website for the new system of training for junior docs to become consultants www.mtas.nhs.uk has been offline due to a big security breach after a series of errors of shortlisting the applicants.



The security breach came just a day after the department was forced to block a loophole in the site which allowed the private details of applicants to be read by anyone typing "info" after the site address.

I am just wondering who the responsible person is. These days, security should be top priority. I suspect those IT men don't care about our confidential data. Withot having enuogh knowledge , I have no idea why they took the contract to run doctor recruitment web service. They are really bloody IT. I think prosecution would be only option in this civilized era.
