UK Government Faces Fury Over Massive Afghan Asylum Seeker Data Leak

The British government is grappling with the fallout from a catastrophic data breach that has exposed the personal information of thousands of Afghans who assisted UK forces and subsequently sought asylum. An urgent email dispatched this week to these vulnerable individuals confirmed that their sensitive asylum applications “may have been compromised,” with details leaking into the public domain. This breach has ignited widespread terror among the recipients, who now fear becoming targets for the Taliban due to their past associations with Britain.

Within 24 hours of the disclosure, Defence Secretary John Healey issued a public apology, acknowledging what is rapidly being described as potentially the largest and most expensive data leak in British government history. Experts and former Afghan officials, including former judge Marzia Babakarkhail, have voiced grave concerns, warning that the leaked list could directly endanger lives and urging recipients to implement extreme precautions regarding their online presence and communications.
