Data Breach Dilemmas

It was a mistake that endangered thousands of people who had supported British forces in Afghanistan - and the Afghans' families.

For the first time, the Ministry of Defence has admitted it was responsible for a data breach that has been kept a secret for years - at huge expense to taxpayers - with the help of a super injunction that prevented media or parliamentary scrutiny.

Almost 7,000 Afghan nationals are being relocated to the UK following the blunder by the British military.
