Kaiser Permanente has terminated a senior security executive and several employees following allegations that an Oakland police officer shared confidential data from the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS). This officer is accused of illegally accessing and disseminating personal information, raising concerns about privacy breaches potentially affecting many individuals. The Oakland Police Department is investigating the officer, Khyber Mangal, for improperly using the database that contains sensitive criminal records. Experts emphasize the severe implications of such information leaks, highlighting the risks involved when confidential data is misused and reaching beyond intended law enforcement tasks.
The brewing scandal could stretch well beyond its apparent origins in Oakland, both because of Kaiser's large West Coast footprint and the breadth of the database.
Experts say such an information release is a serious breach that could expose details that should never be shared with anyone outside of a criminal case, even former cops.
The power it has is it's comprehensive; that's also the danger.
The Oakland Police Department has opened an internal affairs inquiry and a criminal investigation to determine if Mangal improperly accessed the criminal database.
