Ministry of defence data breach: Afghan special forces abandoned by Britain had details leaked
Hundreds of Afghan Special Forces soldiers, which Britain was betrayed, leaked its details by the Taliban about the potential threat of their lives with a major data violation. Independent can reveal.
The leak in February 2022 contained the names and contact information of 18,700 Afghan by a Ministry of Defense Ministry (MOD) officials and communication information, and caused a very secret operation to combat thousands of security in the UK.
Among the names were members of the two expert units known as Triples, who met torture and death by Taliban because of role education and fighting British forces side by side.
Independent After Kabul fell into the Taliban in August 2021, many of them were trapped and in danger, and then called on the government to give members of the triple sacred area in England.
Now about half of the commandos emerged now It was influenced by the violation, which was the subject of a ruthless supersterrhunction between the fears of the data set that could fall into the hands of the Taliban.
The tripartite members knew the blunder that the British press Gaging was abolished on Tuesday after a two -year extraordinary legal war.
Hundreds of triple soldiers were brought to England with their families, but many people are still at risk in Afghanistan.
Major General Charlie Herbert, who worked with the trio in Afghanistan, urged the government to syllab the government to the UK and how many are still in the limo.
He described the data leakage section by the government as “dismissal” and questioned whether a Superinjunction would enter into force.

Orum I can’t believe that there is a data violation.
“What was the purpose of this precautionary measure, because he had leaked information? It was already in social media in Afghanistan, so his only influence was the media’s ability to report,” he added.
“Everything is terrible, it’s time to stop deception and do the right thing by this poor people.
“The mode needs to remove the remaining trio. There is enough subject expert to help them identify them, and then think about where we’re going.”
As part of the Superinjunction case, the court documents presented in the beginning of 2024 revealed that the data of about half of the triple commandos to be brought to England were leaked by the government.
A witness statement, Afghan Re -Settlement President Natalie Moore said MOD will take back the 2,000 conformity decision for applicants who claim to be a connection with the special forces of the UK, including applications from the former members of the Triple. ”
As of this month, 300 Afghan, who had connections to expert units, were brought to England or on the road and 1,800 will still come.
Daniel Carey, a partner of the law firm representing the trio, questioned why people at risk have not been informed before.
“We already know that the risk of government evaluations from many Arab cases is unreliable – despite government evaluations, my customers were detained and tortured.
“He’s worried about his impact on the Afghans families in the UK and his applications on waiting family members.”
The units were founded, paid and trained by the British, but the displacement of the soldiers from the two units was rejected through the Afghan changes and aid policy (Arab). The program promised to change the location of Afghans, who were directly employed by the British forces or who are at risk of retaliation.
Independent In November 2023, he increased the state of the trio – three months after the authorities realized the leak. Following our investigation, the Mode admitted that the decision -making was not “solid, and announced that approximately 2,000 applications were reviewed to the Arab.
The Supreme Court later heard that a United Kingdom Special Forces Officer controlled the rejection of 1,585 cases in the summer of 2023.
Mr Carey, one year after the data violation, said that another military official’s control of a comprehensive rejection of practices was “incredible ..
Last week, the Supreme Court found that making a defective decision resulted in hundreds of Afghan special forces in which the British were misdirected for the shelter and left to the Taliban.
Mr. Carey said: “Our customers experienced delays at risk of retaliation waiting for legal decisions.
“The government’s refusal to report the influence of the decisions of the cases (now reversed) led to a delay. Now we know that they are also at risk because of the big data leakage.
“Many trio are still in Afghanistan, about four years after applying, and apparently at risk than ever. I hope the decisions will now follow quickly.”
In addition to the first application examined, extra cases of 2,500 were detected for re -examination after realizing the importance of the rediscovered payroll data.
Mode approached for comment.
