Thousands more Afghans affected by second data breach, ministers say

The breach involved personal data of 3,700 Afghans relocated under a UK resettlement scheme and exposed passport and assistance policy details, officials said.

  • Up to 3,700 Afghans brought to the UK between January and March 2024 have potentially been impacted by a data breach involving their names, passport details, and information from the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy.
  • The breach occurred not through a direct attack on the government but through a cyber security incident on a sub-contractor named Inflite- The Jet Centre- an MoD supplier.
  • Defence Secretary John Healey offered a "sincere apology" for the first data breach, stating he was "deeply concerned about the lack of transparency" around it.
