When the Taliban are more skilled in Excel than we are. Sigh. I better put the kettle on.(I think the real story here is that a soldier was not sufficiently trained how to use a program with data that could have £7bn worth of consequences, and that is his line manager’s responsibility).
He should be spending 20 years in prison not rolling off into the sunset for a gold plated taxpayer funded pension.
What about the chap who actually did the leak? Apparently he’s still working there.
That data should have been classified under the official secrets act. If it had MI6 names on it then it should have been Top Secret (sensitive spookshow stuff is generally Top Secret unless you have a good reason to lower it)
People should be facing prosecutions for breach of that act – either for failing to classify it or for failing to then protect it.
This is a let-off and nobody should fool themselves otherwise.
Some might suggest people who are that mindlessly incompetant shouldnt have access to that level of intel or that level of responsibility in the first place.
Work at Greggs, you have a whoopsie you’ve cause £1 of damage burning a vegan sauage roll and lose your job.
Work at MoD and copy in everyone in an email, you cause £7bn of damage, you keep your job with a golden pension
So he’s leaving the role around one year earlier than he planned with a full tax payer funded pension or the ability to apply for any other civil service position he fancies.
err….that’s it
I worked on an IT project for the MOD many years ago, some of the civil servants there were a very odd bunch. There was a guy who kept talking about blowing up ‘crossdressers’ with artillery and bragging about his salary. There was a data breach on the project, nowhere near as bad as the Afghan breach of course, but the culprit was never caught.
