I found a USB memory stick on the ground in the local town centre. It contains a significant amount of financial data for a large international company based in London (15 miles from me ) including cash forecasts, intercompany balances, expenses ,etc… More importantly it contains payroll data for over 500 staff including names, addresses, dates of birth, bank account details, N.I. ( Social security ) numbers, salary amounts, pension plan numbers, etc…..
So, what do I do with it? I could hand it into the financial regulators and they would be in heaps of trouble, give it to the newspapers, give the company a call and tell them I found it, pop into their offices next time I'm in London, etc…. I don't want to do anything illegal and I can't do anything that would suggest I'm asking for a 'reward' as that could be misconstrued for extortion. I was just wondering if anyone could come up with a (totally legal) but interesting thing I could do with it.
