Summary:

  • A 50-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with the PSNI data breach investigation.
  • Charges include possession of documents useful to terrorists and possession of articles for terrorism.
  • Sensitive information about 10,000 PSNI officers and staff was accidentally exposed online, prompting a critical incident declaration.
  • Authorities are actively investigating the breach to understand its scope and potential consequences.


In a significant development related to the ongoing investigation into data breaches at the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), a 50-year-old man has been apprehended and charged. The PSNI has revealed that the individual is facing charges of possessing documents or records that could be potentially advantageous to terrorists, as well as the possession of items intended for use in acts of terrorism. This comes in the wake of a major security lapse last week when sensitive information about 10,000 officers and staff was unintentionally exposed online.


The PSNI, responsible for maintaining law and order in Northern Ireland, has been grappling with a serious data breach incident that has raised concerns about national security. According to official sources, the police service accidentally published confidential information pertaining to its entire workforce. This inadvertent disclosure prompted the authorities to declare a critical incident, signifying the gravity of the situation.


As the investigation unfolds, authorities are working diligently to assess the extent of the breach and understand the potential implications. The arrest of the 50-year-old man marks a crucial juncture in the case, as law enforcement aims to determine how the breach occurred and whether any malicious intent was involved. The PSNI is committed to rectifying the situation, enhancing its cybersecurity measures, and preventing similar incidents in the future.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...

Micah Richards analyses Manchester United's 'humiliating' 7-0 loss to Liverpool | Match of the Day 2 Well, if he ran them after Brentford, he'll be running them tomorrow, won't he? I mean, what a remarkable game. Yeah, I was in disbelief. I was shocked and I was stunned from a Man United point of view. Man United, over the last couple of months, have been brilliant. You could see what they've been trying to do. Got some really good results, especially the one against Barcelona. The confidence was in the team. I didn't see United going and maybe winning today, I thought they'd maybe get a draw. But from Liverpool's point of view, they were clinical, they were outstanding, they had the fluidity back in the team. And they're just. This is a Liverpool that you want to see. We always thought Liverpool would be this this season. It's not quite h...
