Earlier today it was reported that there had been an alleged data breach within the Government’s Freedom of Information requests.
In a statement to Manx.News, Director of the Office of Cyber Security and Information Assurance (OCSIA), Mike Haywood, said:
“We are currently working with stakeholders and the ICO to investigate issues that have recently been highlighted to us, and we will provide an update in due course.
“Once the root cause has been identified we will look at possible solutions, and work towards testing and deploying a fix, in the meantime the page in question has been taken down.”
Manx Radio reported “that the FOI platform currently allows any member of the public to retrieve FOI requests submitted by specific individuals, organisations, or addresses”.
