PSNI: Chief Constable to face Policing Board data breach questions
Simon Byrne will be questioned about major data breaches in a closed-door meeting with the Policing Board on Thursday
In the biggest data breach, described as "monumental" by a union representing officers, information about every PSNI officer and civilian employee was mistakenly published in response to a freedom of information request.The information appeared on the internet for several hours on Tuesday and led to the PSNI updating security advice to its officers and staff.
Assistant Chief Constable Chris Todd said documents, along with a police issue laptop and radio, were believed to have been stolen from a private vehicle in the Newtownabbey area of County Antrim on 6 July.The PSNI had earlier said it was treating Tuesday's data breach as a critical incident and that an emergency threat assessment group had been established.
