Human error reveals personal data of 18,000 Welsh Covid-19 sufferers
Public Health Wales yesterday announced a data breach involving the personally identifiable data of 18,105 people resident in Wales who had received a positive test for Covid-19.
In a statement, the health body attributed the incident to “individual human error”, whereby the data was mistakenly uploaded to a public server on 30 August, remaining searchable for 20 hours before its removal on the morning of 31 August.
