Sensitive Data Breach in Northern Ireland Police Service
The police service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) accidentally leaked the data of 10,000 officers and staff online, putting them and their families at risk. The leaked data included names, ranks, units, and locations of the officers. Although home addresses were not included, the data could potentially be used to identify individuals. The leak occurred due to human error, and the document was removed after three hours. However, the data had already been downloaded and shared. The PSNI believes dissident Republicans have acquired the data and may use it to generate fear, uncertainty, and target officers and staff. This incident has raised concerns about the security and safety of those involved, as well as the potential long-term impact on their lives.
