Description

Customer returns faulty laptop and receives new one. Sainsbury's sells the faulty laptop on Ebay, apparently without wiping the hard drive (which was supposed to have been done by a 3rd party contractor). The laptop is purchased, and the buyer contacts the original owner to let them know their profile and personal info is still on the system.
