Afghan data breach timeline: The fallout behind the scenes

The details of a massive data breach by the British military over Afghan nationals have come out this week. But behind the scenes, the fallout has been ongoing for years.

It’s been three years since an unnamed official accidentally shared emails with the names and other details of 18,714 Afghan nationals who were applying for a British government relocation scheme in 2022.

The scheme was to provide asylum for people who had worked with the UK armed forces in the war against the Taliban between 2001 and 2021.
