The government office responsible for providing insolvency services has issued an apology after magnetic tapes containing information of about 76,000 people went missing.
However, it stressed chances of a data leak is “extremely low”.
The Official Receiver’s Office revealed on Monday that seven magnetic backup tapes were lost while being delivered from Immigration Tower to Queensway Government Offices on December 23 last year.
But the office only received a report about the incident last Wednesday.
