The Home Office has apologised for another data breach caused by an “administrative error” – accidentally sending an email that contained personal data of EU citizens seeking settled status in the UK. It’s reported that the sender failed to use the “blind CC” box on the email.
This is the second breach reported by the Home Office this week after it apologised for wrongly sharing the email addresses of people interested in the Windrush compensation scheme.
