Up to 3,700 Afghans resettled in the UK after working with British troops may have had their personal data exposed after a cyber-attack on Inflite The Jet Centre, a Ministry of Defence sub-contractor. The breach affected email accounts containing names, passport details, and Arap reference numbers, according to BBC.

The government said there was no threat to individuals’ safety and no evidence data was made public. Those affected include Afghans relocated earlier this year, as well as some British military personnel and former ministers.

Charities and former officials called the breach “astonishing” and urged faster relocation of Afghans at risk. The incident follows a 2022 leak affecting nearly 19,000 Arap applicants, raising fresh concerns about the UK’s handling of sensitive resettlement data, BBC reported.
