Quote:The UK’s Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has seen laptop losses soar by 400% over the past three years, according to new Freedom of Information (FOI) data.
 
Security vendor Apricorn sent FOI requests to five government departments to better understand the extend of their risk exposure through lost or stolen devices.
 
Of the three that responded, the MoJ appeared to show the largest increase in losses: with the number of laptops going missing rising from just 45 in 2016/17 to 201 in 2018/19.
 
The combined figure for laptops, PCs, mobile phones and tablets saw a 55% increase in losses from 2017/18 to last year, when they reached 354 in total.
