The Metropolitan Police Service “inadvertently” shared the email addresses of more than a thousand victims of crime with other victims. A total of 1,136 emails were sent out in seven batches of between 119 and 198 recipients. The addresses were placed in the wrong box, which meant they were visible to all the other recipients in the batch. MPS has notified the Information Commissioner’s Office of the breach. The information watchdog has the power to fine organisations up to APS500,000 for a serious data breach.”]
