26 Sep 2024 Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI)ICO: £750,000 against Northern Ireland police after spreadsheet error in FOI response €898,979
In its response to a freedom of information request, the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) published an Excel file whose hidden worksheet contained the surnames, initials, rank and role of all 9,483 employees. The file was visible for just over two hours and was deleted after almost three hours; the police assumed that it had fallen into the hands of dissident republicans.
Before releasing any file, check for hidden sheets, metadata and raw data – a four-eyes approval process prevents such breaches.
