💨 Abstract

In 2022, a data breach exposed the personal details of nearly 19,000 Afghans and over 100 British individuals, including MI6 spies and special forces personnel. The breach occurred when an insecure email was sent by a military official, and the information was only discovered when an extract was posted on Facebook 18 months later. A two-year superinjunction prevented details of the breach from being published.
