MoD data breach shows 'how poor we are at responding to human error' | LBC

Defence expert Tobias Ellwood joined Iain Dale to discuss the data breach. He said it is an example of where the 'fear of embarrassment takes precedence over institutional learning'. This comes as thousands of Afghans included on a list of people trying to flee the Taliban are unlikely to receive compensation after their details were accidentally leaked. As LBC exclusively reported this week, the data breach, which saw details of 18,714 applicants for the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) scheme released in 2022, prompted an unprecedented gagging order amid fears the Taliban could target would-be refugees for reprisals. It also saw the establishment of a secret scheme, the Afghanistan Response Route (ARR), to bring some of those affected to the UK.
