An April breach at the UK’s Legal Aid Agency resulted in the theft of a large volume of personal information belonging to applicants, including criminal records. The agency provides citizens with access to vital civil and criminal legal services. The breach was discovered on April 23, and the extent of the breach was much greater than initially thought, leading to the shutdown of its online services. The stolen data included contact details, addresses, dates of birth, national ID numbers, criminal history, employment status, and financial data. The agency is urging applicants since 2010 to be vigilant against phishing attempts and identity fraud.
