MoD breach left Afghans at risk
A parliamentary inquiry has found that a data breach exposing personal details of over 18,500 Afghan applicants to the UK's relocation scheme was a foreseeable failure by the Ministry of Defence (MoD). The breach, caused by sharing a spreadsheet with a trusted third party, highlighted systemic issues including poor data protection practices, inadequate training, and a culture of secrecy. The report criticized the MoD's handling of the scheme, the prolonged secrecy surrounding the breach, and raised concerns about the involvement of UK Special Forces in rejecting applications from Afghan special forces, many of whom remain in danger due to government delays and errors.
