The Security Committee launched Afghan Data Expiration Investigation

The intelligent parliamentary guard has announced that an investigation into a major data breach will be launched, which compromises the identity of thousands of Afghans and British military officials.

The leakage of data caused a super-intelligence, which meant that the intelligence and security committee (ISC), which routinely inspected the sensitive material, was not informed only last week.

Chairman Lord Baymish said that all intelligence documents related to the case should be submitted “immediately” for review.

The Ministry of Defense spokesman (the MoD) said the Government strongly welcomed the Commission’s control control.

ISC monitors the work of Mi5, Mi6 and the Government Center for Communication (GCHQ).

In a statement on Monday, Lord Baysha said the inter -party group would “investigate the role and activity of the intelligence community in connection with the loss of data” after considering the evaluations of defense related to the case.

Earlier, the peer expressed concern about the “serious constitutional issues” raised by the processing of the violation, which remained undetected for more than a year before the order for the accumulation was requested.

The ISC claims that – under the Law on Justice and Security of 2013 – the classification of materials is not a reason to withstand information from the Commission, given its purpose is to consider the work of the intelligence community of the United Kingdom.

A MO spokesman said: “We acknowledge the urgent need to understand how these significant failures have happened and to ensure that there is a proper accountability for the processing of the previous government on this issue.

“The Ministry of Defense is instructed by the Minister of Defense to provide their full support to the ISC and all parliamentary committees. If the acting ministers and officers are asked to report and provide evidence, they will do so.”

The leak was made in February 2022 by someone working at the United Kingdom Special Forces headquarters in London, which inadvertently sent an email with a spreadsheet containing more than 30,000 applications to dispose of an individual outside the government, thinking of sending data for only 150 people.

Data breach was only identified in August 2023, when a man in Afghanistan made a Facebook publication identifying nine individuals and indicated that he could release the rest, in a sequence of events for which government sources said they were “essentially extortion”.

MOD applied for a drilling order in September 2023 because of the risk of repression from the Taliban against nearly 19,000 Afghans, who were revealed to have worked with British forces in Afghanistan.

The Supreme Court has set a high restriction on the super information, which means that even the existence of a stumbling order cannot be reported to Judge canceled the order last week.

The detection of data breach forced the government to place a hidden to respond to Afghanistan (ARR) to lead about 7,000 of the UK affected in the UK at a forecast final price of about £ 850 million.

A MoD spokesman said the government “will” strongly protect “any court action or an offer for compensation, adding that these are” hypothetical claims “.

It is also reported that MOD will not offer active compensation to those affected.
