Thanks for the source, it's interesting that The Telegraph is the only paper reporting this. IOW, I'll believe it when I see it.

The Data Protection Act does not in practice criminalise poor information security – it does criminalise the lack of things like a risk assessment. Short of actual negligence, nobody will be prosecuted due to the hostile actions of a third party. Probably not a bad thing, as it would be obviously ludicrous to do so.

The actual language in the bill is unclear as it's not been published yet and all we have to go on is competing Home Office press releases.
