Dissident republicans claim to have leaked police details, says PSNI

In a press conference, PSNI chief constable Simon Byrne said that the police force was ‘aware that dissident republicans claim to be in possession of some of this information circulating on Whatsapp’. He added officers and staff were being advised on any further risk that they faced. A PSNI data breach had meant that the identities of about 10,000 police officers and staff were leaked, in what Byrne called an ‘industrial scale breach of data that has gone into the public domain’
