Shell guilty of allowing worlds biggest breach of employee details

By John Donovan

Shell media spin machine went into overdrive last week trying to downplay the worlds biggest ever leak of employee details, including personal information, which Shell Ethics boss Richard Wiseman, has twice admitted puts the safety of some employees at risk.

A copy of a related email from Mr Wendel Broere, Group spokesman, Global media relations, Shell International B.V, desperately engaged on a damage limitation exercise with the news media, was leaked to me on the day it was sent. My role is discussed in the email, no doubt because I am the person who broke the story which turned into a global PR disaster for Shell, with all kinds of unwelcome repercussions, including an investigation by the Information Commissioners Office and the prospect of a fine for being reckless with confidential employee data. read more

Shell’s Data Breach: A Security Spill?

Written by Emmanuel Carabott on February 15, 2010 – 4:35 pm

This week the BBC reported that someone has disclosed contact details for 170,000 of Shell’s employees world wide. The disclosure comes with a note claiming it is being disclosed by former employees who can’t stand the damage the company is doing to the environment.  Shell has in turn downplayed the event claiming that the information disclosed does not pose a security risk to its employees since it does not include employee’s addresses. read more

Shell hit by massive data breach

A spokesperson for the ICO said: “Shell has notified us of a security breach regarding a significant amount of people’s personal details. We are looking into how this data breach occurred and will decide what, if any regulatory action, is required.” Shell – if it is found guilty – may escape lightly. Fines levied by the ICO for failing to protect against the loss of personal data tend to be under £5,000.
