New: U.K. outsourcing giant Capita is facing heat after leaving gigabytes of customer data exposed to the internet for *years*.
Colchester City Council told TechCrunch that its data was exposed by Capita's error.
Capita told us that the exposed data was limited to "release notes and user guides," and did not indicate any of the data was sensitive.
It's Capita's second security incident in a month, weeks after it was hit by a ransomware attack.

It is about time we had a government that rather than rewarding failure with more contracts, the company that fails has ALL contracts ended.
We have seen Capita and others screw up time and time again, they are pretty useless.
