Inquiry Demanded into UK ICO Following Afghan Data Breach

Civil liberties groups and MPs are calling for an inquiry into the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) due to its failure to enforce data protection laws following a significant data breach involving the Ministry of Defence (MoD). The breach, which exposed the personal details of thousands of Afghans seeking sanctuary in the UK, has raised serious concerns about the safety of these individuals and the effectiveness of the ICO's oversight. Reports indicate that the MoD has not adequately addressed security flaws, leaving many at risk.
