An official review of the Police Service of Northern Ireland’s (PSNI) August data breach has revealed the full extent of the impact on staff.
The incident, which affected 9,483 officers, was branded “the most significant data breach that has ever occurred in the history of UK policing” by Commissioner Pete O’Doherty of the City of London Police, and the damage is said to be “unquantifiable.”
The review lays bare the broad impact on staff in Northern Ireland, detailing how various officers have been forced to relocate out of fear for their safety.
