Fresh Blow to PSNI Security as Second Data Breach Disclosed

Northern Ireland’s Police Service (PSNI) confirms two consecutive data breaches, inadvertently exposing personal details of over 10,000 active officers and employees. The documents were stolen from a personal vehicle, including a laptop and radio. PSNI has notified the affected parties and the Information Commissioner’s Office. The PSNI will review its security protocols to prevent similar incidents, suggesting both breaches were due to human error and inadequate data control measures.
