Keane fearful over stolen data

Keane are reportedly worried that personal contact details could be misused after a break-in at a central London PR firm's offices, where a PC holding their information was stolen.

Keane are apparently concerned that personal information like mobile phone numbers and personal email addresses might have been acquired following a break in at one of their PR firms' central London offices. The Oxford Circus offices of the PR company (not sure which one, though I only know of two near Oxford Circus) were broken into on Monday night and the band's personal info are known to be on the database held on one of the PCs taken. Of course said burglars would probably have wiped the database before selling the PC on, had the Sun not alerted them to the fact that the personal info of pop stars was on it. Though quite what you'd do with the info I'm not sure. There are easier ways to meet dull posh boys than stealing pop stars' phone numbers. But the band are reportedly "fearful" of what thieves might do with the information.
