Northern Ireland’s police publish personal data of entire force by mistake

Published Fri, 07 Mar 2025 01:26:31 GMT

The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has opened an investigation after it published a spreadsheet containing the personal data of its officers and civilian workforce by mistake, a senior officer said Tuesday.“The data concerned contained the surnames and initials of current employees alongside the location and department within which they work,” Assistant Chief Constable Chris Todd said in a statement, adding that the breach “resulted from information included in error in response to a Freedom of Information Request.”“Although it was made available as a result of our own error, anyone who did access the information before it was taken down is responsible for what they do with it next. It is important that data anyone has accessed is deleted immediately,” the officer said.The data breach is particularly sensitive given members of the PSNI have been targeted by republican paramilitaries in Northern Ireland in recent months. In February, a d...

Pedro Grifol took in Monday’s Chicago White Sox game from a different vantage point.Serving a one-game suspension as part of the fallout from Saturday’s Sox-Cleveland Guardians brawl, Grifol watched the series opener against the New York Yankees from Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf’s suite at Guaranteed Rate Field.He tried to make the most of the view.“That saying that the farther you are away from the game, the slower it is or the easier it gets? It looked pretty slow and pretty easy from up there,” Grifol said before Tuesday’s game. “It was pretty nice. I was able to see a lot of things that I think are really important for our growth, fundamental things that we probably need to address.“Obviously I didn’t want to (not be managing).
