The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) is bracing for a hefty £750,000 fine following last year’s data breach. The PSNI data breach saw the exposure of approximately 10,000 officers and staff who had their personal information inadvertently exposed online.
The PSNI data breach occurred last August when details, including surnames, initials, ranks, and roles of all serving police personnel, were mistakenly published in response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request.
