Sorry, didn't mean to misquote you. I accept that proper encryption means the data is secure, but I guess I don't trust these guys.

The scenarios you describe are possible, but less likely than having a laptop stolen. Also, the server could be programmed to release only a certain number of names and addresses on any given day, to stop unauthorised downloads of the entire database.

I'd like to know why anyone would need 600,000 names and addresses on a laptop in a car.
