    Jeremy Clarkson - wise guy humbled.

    Gear ShiftHow many of you know Jeremy Clarkson? The wise guy host of Top Gear?

    Well, like many people who do not seem to grasp the importance of keeping their personal data secure and ensuring that those who handle their personal data do the same, he has also thrown caution to the wind.

    But that is quite alright. According to the BBC, he has been superbly proven wrong. The man recently revealed his account numbers in the Sun newspaper after ridiculing the commotion over the loss of 25 million people's personal details on two computer discs in the UK. He wanted to prove that it was all a big fuss over nothing, but thanks to a reader, he has been put in his place! The details have been used to create a £500 direct debit to the charity Diabetes UK!

    "I was wrong and I have been punished for my mistake," says Clarkson.

    Indeed you have.

    Now the question is, have we all learnt our lesson or do we have to be proven wrong through a loss to understand the consequences of disregarding the importance of privacy?
