In this episode, Megi talks about Hackney council forwarding another family's very personal information to her husband's email address.
Megi has an autistic daughter. She talked about the family's housing problems in episode 5.
The information that the council accidentally forwarded to Megi's husband contained very sensitive details about another family entirely.
It had their names and contact details, children's names, bank details and details of abuse and fostering.
Why do these very serious data breaches keep happening?
Why are people who claim benefits or who need council help with housing made to put up with negligent security of their personal data?
