Investigation Reveals Data Leak of 18,500 Afghans
A British parliamentary investigation has revealed a systemic failure in managing the resettlement program for Afghans who applied to relocate to the United Kingdom after the Taliban took control of Kabul. The investigation uncovered that data belonging to over 18,500 Afghans was leaked in August 2023 via an Excel file by a British Ministry of Defense employee, despite a ban on media publication of the incident details for two years. The report pointed to weak data protection measures, reliance on unsuitable tools, and a deficient culture of accountability. Additionally, it noted that this incident was part of 19 data breaches between February 2022 and November 2023. The Parliament condemned the Ministry's poor management and called for reforms to enhance data protection standards and oversight of the programs.
