Two individuals, Brian Cavlan and Rory Logan, were arrested for holding spreadsheets of sensitive Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) staff information, originally made public in a data breach. The data, mistakenly published online in 2023, contained identifying details of nearly 10,000 personnel. While evidence links Logan and Cavlan to this material, police sources indicate the data likely circulated extensively prior to their possession. Their court appearance reveals ongoing concerns about the implications for public safety. A third suspect was also questioned but released, as investigations concerning unrelated PSNI officers continue.
The police officer confirmed that the accused had integrated parts of the spreadsheets stored on their devices, and emphasized how widely the information had circulated before it reached them.
Cavlan's bail application was denied, emphasizing the dangers of recidivism and the inadequacy of managing his conditions if released, indicating serious risks to public safety.
