and following a request for freedom of information, a terrible error was made in the police service of northern ireland. adding to the request what's called source data, which meant that actually the search names, initials and the search names, initials and the departments in which 10,000 police officers in northern ireland suddenly found online their details had been posted. now, in northern ireland, a lot of policemen go to work every day, not dressed in their uniforms. so men and women leave home in plain clothes. their neighbours don't know what they go to do, so they've had to keep their work secret in order to protect themselves and their families. the risk here is that some of those people's identity have been compromised. we don't know enough. it's a statement that so far has come from the chief constable , which is that chief constable, which is that they're investigating it . the they're investigating it. the chief constable returned from holiday, had a meeting with the oversight body in northern ireland that that looked at these issues and some people wanted the chief consta

we've just heard in the last few minutes can actually come cheap tat of the police service of northernain that the data breach happened at around about 2:30 p:m.. this information was uploaded to a legitimate website, a website that had asked the rep freedom of information request to have details about the number of different officers that are within the police officer of northern ireland and the different ranks that they hold, but when that information was sent out, we understand a spreadsheet had an extra tab on it with crucial information that should not have been put into the public domain like that last name and initials of officers, their service number, the contract type, their rank, how much of the week they work. as you say, crucially, it did not contain their home address, but it did include information about where they were based. now, the reason this is so much more serious than perhaps a data breach of its kind for perhaps other police forces across the rest of the united kingdom is to quote the words of assistant chief constable chris tied, he said that we operate in an e

information on everyone who works for the police service was leaked online on tuesday. in this part of the uk, the risks which police face are particularly stark. members of the police service of northern ireland take far—reaching measures to protect their identities. but yesterday, information appeared online about all 10,000 staff, both officers and civilians. they haven't told their family what they do and now it is all out there and they are really frightened, actually. the bbc has spoken to two serving officers. one told us... another said... this local councillor, who left the police two years ago, is familiar with the threat. anyone who has an officer's name in mind to target will want to know two things, where they live and where they work. this breach of their personal data has done half thejob for them. during the conflict known as the troubles, more than 300 police officers were killed. attacks are much more rare now. however, officers still face challenges which come with community divisions. earlier this year, paramilitaries tried to murder a detective. joh
