    No, just explaining what information the employees could have taken and what they could do with the info.

    so how do you know that the employees just go the job to gain access to personal details so they could sell them on.

    even setting up their own businesses, so they look legit, this happens

    They have stolen personal data from a Data Controller, so should be reported under the DPA

    i think most of it will be right, just hope the 'sell them on' part is not right as who knows who they would be selling too.

    but the original company should also be reported for not making sure the Data was secure
