A UK parliamentary inquiry found that the Ministry of Defence’s 2022 breach, which exposed the personal data of more than 18,500 Afghan relocation applicants, was a foreseeable systemic failure, not an isolated mistake. MPs blamed weak procedures, inadequate training, poor data protection, and an overreliance on secrecy, and said the MoD was not equipped to run immigration relocation schemes. The breach also left some Afghans who had worked with British forces at risk for years. Source: Sky News
