SAS and Britain spies referred to in Afghan data on data breach

The identity of more than 100 British officials, including Special Forces and MI6 members, has been compromised in violation of data, which also puts thousands of Afghans at risk of repression, can be taken into account.

The last fall from the offense was kept secret from an order until Thursday, when the order was overturned by a judge from the Supreme Court.

This allowed media organizations to reveal that the detailed notes on the case in the database contain secret personal data of special forces and spies.

The government has already recognized the data of nearly 19,000 Afghans on Tuesday who worked with the British during the 20-year war in Afghanistan and applied for a migration to the UK have inadvertently expired.

Many were considered the risk of serious harm or even death, as the Taliban sought retribution against those who worked with the British government during the conflict.

This was part of the reason for the information to be protected from the so-called “super-infection”-a single type of heating order that prevents even the existence of the order.

The BBC understands that the man has previously been rejected for resettlement, but has been faced in the UK after posting names from Facebook data and points out that he can release the others.

The Ministry of Defense (MoD) declined to comment on the actions of the individual, but said that “anyone who came to the United Kingdom under any Afghanistan relocation schemes” must go through “stable security checks in order to enter entry.”

The discovery of the violation in 2023 forced the government to place disguised on the path of response in Afghanistan (ARR), a scheme for the resettlement of those affected, which were not told about the violation, despite the risk of their security.

The scheme has already allowed 4,500 Afghans and family members to move to the United Kingdom and another £ 2,200 is expected, with approximate costs of £ 850 million.

The accidental expiration is the result that someone working at the UK Special Forces headquarters in London, inadvertently email more than 30,000 applications to resettle an individual outside the government, thinking that it sends data to only 150 people.

After lifting the super-infusion on Tuesday, the secondary disposition prevented the revelations of personal special forces and security services that have been compromised.

But this was also canceled on Thursday that lawyers representing both MD and a group of media organizations reached a compromise, which meant that journalists could report the additional facts.

Defense Minister John Heli told parliament on Tuesday that the violation was a “serious mistake in the department” and acknowledged that it was “just one of the many data losses” related to the Afghan moving schemes.

Shadow defense secretary James Cartlidge apologized on behalf of the former conservative government, which was in power when the leak was discovered.

The MoD declined to say how many people in Afghanistan may have been damaged as a result of data disturbance. The Taliban government said on Thursday that it had not been arrested or observed Afghans affected by the leak.

But relatives of Afghans mentioned in the leak told the BBC that they are afraid of their family still in the countryWith one, talk to the Taliban’s efforts to find their indicated relatively reinforced after expiration.

A spokesman said: “The long -standing policy of consistent governments is not to comment on special forces.

“We take the security of our staff very seriously, especially those of sensitive positions, and we always have appropriate measures to protect their security.”
