An online survey of 229 consumers has found that all have at least one USB stick but half could not remember what they had saved on a device.
It found that 54 per cent of people had between three and six sticks, while a fifth (21 per cent) owned as many as ten, or even more. Also, 34 per cent admitted they did not know where all their USB devices are at any given time, while ten per cent admitted to losing a USB device containing corporate data, yet 76 per cent never reported the loss to their bosses.

Will the hefty fines ICO can impose mean that even fewer will report data breaches in the future?
