The PSNI's Assistant Chief Constable confirmed that every serving police officer and member of police staff has had data compromised.
THE POLICE SERVICE of Northern Ireland has apologised after information about all of the force’s serving officers and staff was published in a data breach.
“We believe it was uploaded about 2.30pm this afternoon. It came to my attention as the senior information risk owner at about 4pm this afternoon, with the co-operation of the host provider it was taken down within the hour,” said Todd. PA Police Service of Northern Ireland ACC Chris Todd apologised over a major data breach involving officers and civilian staff. PAHe said: “The Chief Constable is aware. I’m the duty officer and I’m the senior information risk owner, so I take responsibility for this.”
“The men and women I represent are appalled by this breach. They are shocked, dismayed and justifiably angry. Like me, they are demanding action to address this unprecedented disclosure of sensitive information.“Inadequate or poor oversight of FOI procedures must be addressed and addressed urgently. New safeguards are obviously required to prevent this from ever happening again.”Writing on Twitter, Chris Heaton-Harris said: “I’m deeply concerned by the data breach involving the PSNI.
“I view this like a serious incident when people are seriously physically injured. The priority is to assist the injured. Only after that do you turn to examine the other issues.
