UK State Investments Agency Breach Exposed 51 Officials' Names and Emails

A data breach at UK Government Investments (UKGI), which manages the UK's stakes in Channel 4, the Post Office, and other public assets, exposed the names and work emails of 51 officials across multiple departments for roughly 40 hours. UKGI blamed a staff member's failure to follow security policies, escalated the incident to its board and the Information Commissioner's Office, and commissioned an external security review.
