The surnames, initials, work location, and department of each staff member are included in error in response to a freedom of information request.

Northern Ireland’s police force accidentally shared the names and work locations of every member of staff on Tuesday, August 8, in a data breach it said would be of “significant concern” to officers who are often targeted by militant groups.

There is nothing at the moment to suggest any immediate concerns to individuals’ security, Assistant Chief Constable Chris Todd told a press conference. “It is limited to surname and initial only, but that will be still of significant concern for many of my colleagues, I know that, and we will ensure we will do everything we can to mitigate any security risks that are identified,” Todd said.
