- Council worker spared prison after four-day data-snooping spree
Geoffrey Smith, a Herefordshire Council worker, accessed 490 sensitive records and downloaded 94 documents over four days, including medical and family data. He was given a suspended two-month prison sentence, ordered to complete 120 hours of unpaid work, and pay fines after pleading guilty to violating the Computer Misuse Act.
