Inquiry Finds MoD Afghan Data Breach Was Foreseeable Failure The latest parliamentary inquiry into the Ministry of Defence's handling of the Afghan relocation scheme has revealed a culture of secrecy, systemic failure, and egregious mistakes that have left thousands of Afghans vulnerable to persecution.
The data breach that exposed personal details of over 18,500 applicants was a "foreseeable" consequence of inadequate training, poor organisational continuity, and an alarming lack of accountability.
This is not an isolated incident; it's the latest chapter in a long story of secrecy and failure that has marred the UK's efforts to help those who risked everything to support British forces in Afghanistan.
