Leaked NHS Docs Reveal Roadmap, Concerns Around Contact-Tracing App

Controversial contact-tracing app to be rolled out by the UK s National Health Service has been leaked via a public Google Drive link. Officials behind the initiative are concerned about how unverified information could be used. The data collected by the app could include unverified diagnoses and could be open to abuse or lead to unjustified public panic, according to the leaked documents. The NHS moved to rectify the misconfiguration after being alerted by Wired. Privacy advocates say governments can easily take advantage of the pandemic to implement surveillance.
