A WALTHAM Forest Council employee uploaded a video containing “sensitive information” to Youtube.
It also shows how personal information was wrongly disclosed 18 times and e-mails were sent to the wrong person five times.
Meanwhile, laptops were lost or stolen ten times.
In total, 39 council employees and partners were investigated in 2017 for failing to protect important information.
Waltham Forest Council continues to work with consultants to address its data protection practices.
The maximum fine under new regulations could be up to £500,000 for serious data breaches by a local authority.
