BBC Olympics Staff Files Stolen

Tara Conlan writes on The Guardian.co.uk:

The BBC has contacted the police after files containing personal details about all staff going to the Beijing Olympics this summer were stolen.

Details including passport numbers of 437 staff, from presenters to translators, were stored in the files in a private room at BBC Television Centre in west London. It is understood they went missing around March 14.

Those affected have been contacted and BBC director of sport Roger Mosey has sent out an email to other staff asking for their help in retrieving the files.

Sources said the BBC has been advised there is a low risk of identity fraud.

Aside from the passport information, the files also contain home addresses, pictures and details of which hotels BBC staff will be staying in.
