BBC Breach Puts 25K Pension Scheme Members at Risk

The BBC confirmed a data security incident affecting its pension scheme after files containing personal information for around 25,000 current and former employees were copied from a cloud storage service. Exposed data includes names, national insurance numbers, dates of birth, gender, and home addresses; the BBC says no telephone, email, bank details or passwords were included, that the source has been secured, there is no evidence so far of misuse or ransomware, and investigations and notifications are ongoing.
