The Metropolitan Police has apologised after a data breach involving people described as alleged victims of Al Fayed.
Scotland Yard copied in all those who had registered to receive a monthly update, leading to the breach. The material supplied does not specify how many people were included in the message or what information was visible to other recipients.
The incident concerns individuals who had signed up for regular updates from the force. Because the group involved alleged victims, the breach carries particular sensitivity, even though no further details about the contents of the update have been provided.
The latest known position is that the Met has issued an apology for the breach. No additional response, investigation detail or remedial action has been set out in the supplied material.
