MI5 Palmtop Stolen From Open Window

Via Vnunet.com -

A palmtop MI5 computer believed to contain information on terrorism has been stolen from a house in Greater Manchester.

A burglar took the device from the open window of a building hired by the security service in an apparently opportunist theft. It is believed that files on the palmtop were encrypted.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "An encrypted handheld computer was stolen. It is believed the offender entered through an open window. "

Earlier this week, it emerged that police were investigating the sale of a camera on eBay which is said to have contained MI6 images of terror suspects.
