The Garda Computer Crime Unit has been drafted in to probe how 5,000 people’s personal information collected by Cork City Council had been illegally accessed by a hacker.

Detectives in that garda unit are investigating the breach which saw thousands of people who used a parking app potentially having their data stolen. The compromised information includes names, addresses, phone numbers and vehicle registration numbers.

      I’ve been told that the reason I see so many council breaches is that councils are generally staffed by a few volunteer retirees and they don’t have many resources, etc. Or at least that’s what I was told about UK councils.
