		<description><![CDATA[In actual fact it seems the IC is HIGHLY unlikely to issue any fine against anyone at all  :(

Check out this news report from SkyNews dated today which stated,
&lt;blockquote&gt;Just four fines have been handed out by the information watchdog since the powers came into force last year, new figures have revealed.

More than 250,000 possible breaches of the Data Protection Act have been reported to the Information Commissioner&#039;s Office (ICO) but only 36 have resulted in any action and just four led to civil penalties.

The maximum penalty for a single offence is £500,000 - but the biggest fine handed out to date has been £100,000. In total, organisations have been ordered to cough up£310,000.

The figures, released under the Freedom of Information Act to encryption firm ViaSat, also show that the ICO has taken action against seven private sector organisations, but 29 in the public sector.

Chris McIntosh, the firm&#039;s chief executive, said: &quot;The ICO has a tremendous amount of leeway in the penalties it levies and so far doesn&#039;t seem to be applying this in either direction.

&quot;The ICO has stated that the embarrassment and poor image of a fine will act as a deterrent and an incentive to improve an organisation&#039;s grasp of the Data Protection Act. 

&quot;However, if fines are rare and well below the maximum allowed limit, their value as a deterrent drops.

&quot;Organisations will view the rarity of a fine and the associated negative publicity the same way they have viewed the threat of a data breach itself: an event that only happens to other people.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20110420/tuk-info-watchdog-hands-out-just-four-fi-45dbed5.html]]></description>
