MoD’s Afghan data leak was ‘foreseeable systemic failure’, say MPs

The Commons' Defence Committee reported that the MoD Afghan data breach was a foreseeable systemic failure. A soldier accidentally disclosed personal details of 25,000 people applying for relocation to Britain. The inquiry found that the MoD used secrecy as a shield against proper expertise, contributing to the leak. This failure highlights systemic issues within the MoD regarding the handling of sensitive relocation data, as detailed in the official report by the parliamentary committee.
