Holy crap... there will be some nervous Rozzers hard targeting to and from the office from this month onwards:


PSNI apologises to officers and civilian staff after major security breach


The PSNI has apologised after a data breach of “monumental proportions” meant the force mistakenly published the names, ranks, locations and other personal data of every serving police officer and civilian employee.

The data from the PSNI’s ultra-confidential human resources system is a gold mine for terrorists, offering details of officers working in intelligence and other highly sensitive areas – including almost 40 PSNI staff based with MI5.

During a media briefing held at PSNI headquarters on the Knock Road, Assistant Chief Constable (ACC) Chris Todd apologised for the data breach and said the information had been online for around three hours.

The material was wrongly published on the internet today by the PSNI in what was a described as a “human error” involving spreadsheet fields.
