Police in Northern Ireland are investigating a document that was found posted on a wall in West Belfast, which allegedly contains information released in a mass data breach. The document, which was discovered near a Sinn Féin office, had names redacted but contained other sensitive information. Alongside the document was a photograph of Gerry Kelly, the party’s policing spokesperson.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) stated that it had been prepared for the possibility of such a development. Despite the threatening message accompanying the document, Gerry Kelly affirmed that he would not be intimidated. He explained that the document was noticed by a Sinn Féin staff member on a library wall across from their office and was promptly removed. The incident was captured on CCTV, although the cameras outside the office were not functioning at the time.
