How was data breached in the Special Forces?

In June 2021 it came to light that more than 100 special forces troops were publicly identified in an email security breach. As the names of individuals who are in special forces units are kept strictly in confidence, this is a serious data breach that could have serious repercussions on UK intelligence as well as those whose data has been disclosed. The breach included the details of:

  • 40 members of highly sensitive intelligence and communication units
  • 39 members of the Special Forces Support Group (SFSG)
  • 14 Special Air Service (SAS) soldiers
  • 5 members of the Special Reconnaissance Regiment (SRR)
  • 4 Special Boat Service (SBS) troops
  • An operative of E squadron (the UK’s most secretive military intelligence unit)

 

These troops’ data was included in a list of individuals who were getting promoted and an error saw the list being emailed to hundreds of civil servants and soldiers with any level of security clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

People have the right to expect that any personal data that they have shared with an organisation, like the special forces, is securely stored and handled. When data protection standards have fallen short, and in this case a careless error led to prohibited personal data of troops being exposed, you can make a claim for compensation. If that information fell into the wrong hands it could be fatal for those whose details were involved and the thought of which would cause a great deal of distress and concern.

If you think you could have a valid special forces data breach claim then get in touch with us and we will put you in contact with data breach experts who will make enquiries for you and confirm whether or not you have a valid claim worth pursuing.

We can put you in touch with legal experts who are putting together a group claim whereby the troops can be part of a collective claim for special forces data breach compensation.
