Description

According to the ICO, the Islington Council inadvertently released the details of 2,000 residents in freedom of information documents. The data, published on the What Do They Know website on June 26 and June 27, was contained in three spreadsheets. The files have been publicly accessible until July 14, when one of the site’s administrators discovered the sensitive information.
