英国特种部队和情报官员身份在阿富汗数据泄露事件中曝光

摘要

一起涉及英国政府记录的数据泄露事件暴露了100多名英国特种部队和情报官员的身份,以及近19,000名在阿富汗冲突期间与英国合作的阿富汗人的信息。该泄露事件于2023年被发现,促使英国秘密建立了重新安置计划,并引发了对被点名人员安全的担忧。

超过100名英国特种部队和情报官员的身份在一次数据泄露事件中被曝光,该事件还泄露了近19,000名在英国20年阿富汗参与期间与英国合作的阿富汗人的个人信息。此次泄露发生于2022年2月,但直到2023年8月才被发现,原因是一封从伦敦英国特种部队总部发出的电子邮件错误地包含了超过30,000份重新安置申请。

政府对此的回应是秘密设立了阿富汗响应路线(ARR),这是一个针对泄露事件受影响人员的重新安置计划。截至目前,已有4,500名阿富汗人及其家属被安置到英国,预计将有另外2,400人随后抵达,预计总成本为8.5亿英镑。尽管存在塔利班对协助英国部队人员进行报复的担忧,受影响人员最初并未被告知此次泄露事件。

法律限制最初阻止了对此次泄露事件的报道,但这些限制被高等法院法官部分解除,使得相关细节得以公开。国防大臣约翰·希利将此事件描述为“一次严重的部门错误”,并承认这是“与阿富汗重新安置计划相关的众多数据泄露事件之一”。国防部拒绝对具体案例发表评论,但表示:“我们非常重视人员的安全,特别是那些处于敏感岗位的人员,并始终采取适当措施保护他们的安全。”

塔利班政府表示尚未逮捕或监控受此次泄露影响的阿富汗人。然而,被点名者的亲属表达了对家人安全的担忧,并报告称塔利班加大了寻找泄露名单中人员的力度。
