All 47,000 Met Police officers and staff reportedly accessed in break-in
London's Metropolitan Police has said a third-party data breach exposed staff and officers' names, ranks, photos, vetting levels, and salary information.
In a statement posted on the cops' website, the force said miscreants broke into a supplier's IT system, and used that unauthorized access to steal personnel information. The supplier did not, however, store police addresses, phone numbers or financial account details so it appears that data remains secure.said, adding that the UK National Crime Agency and Information Commissioner's Office have both been made aware of the breach.
"Anyone using these details to produce a warrant card or pass could gain access to a police station or secure area," former Met commander John O'Connor told the newspaper. "There is also a huge concern that photographs of police on undercover units, surveillance or in sensitive areas like counter-terrorism could fall into the wrong hands," he added."This data breach has put the safety of police at risk."
