Widespread security flaws blamed for PSNI data breach. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) suffered a cyber incident in August 2023, resulting in the exposure of personal data for 9483 police officers and civilian staff. The breach occurred due to force-wide security failings and a "light touch approach" to data protection. An independent review found that the breach was a result of multiple factors and a lack of proactive data security measures. The review also highlighted the need for improved data protection strategy and compliance within the organization. The event serves as a wake-up call for all UK police forces to prioritize the security and protection of data. Hashtags: #PSNI #databreach #securityflaws #dataProtection #UKpolicing
