Victims of Afghan data leak receive scam emails offering tens of thousands in compensation, Sky News can reveal

Sky News can reveal that some Afghan data leak victims are being offered £86,000 in compensation, in what appears to be scam mail. The phishing email claims to come from the Ministry of Defence (MoD), offering a "compensation via a cheque", but the MoD has categorically denied any involvement. Sky News is aware that - at the very least - a small number of Afghans whose data were leaked have been sent this email. The true number of recipients could be a lot higher. The data list contained the details of almost 19,000 individuals It asks Afghans to "please take your id documents to verify your identity, otherwise you won't be paid". The news indicates at least some of the names and personal details on the leaked dataset have been seen by the email sender. 2:51 It raises questions about just who now has access to the leaked data of thousands of Afghan Relocations and Assistance Police (ARAP) applicants, and who is behind the phishing attempt. The MoD has confirmed the email is a scam, emphasising the email was not sent by the government. A spokesperson said: "This email has not been sent by the Ministry of Defence or any part of the UK government. "Following the February 2022 data incident under the previous government, we have taken appropriate action in line with the level of risk these individuals faced and will robustly defend against any legal action or compensation claims." The email starts with "OFFICIAL-SENSITIVE PERSONAL". It says: "I am writing to inform you that your case has been properly considered. We are sincerely sorry for the impact the recent data breach has had on you and your family. "As a result we are offering you compensation in the amount of £86,000. You can collect your compensation via a cheque, which can be processed at your local building society. We have shared your detail with bank, please take your id documents to verify your identity, otherwise you won't be paid". It is signed off "Afghan Relocation and Assistance Policy Casework Team, MOD Head Office". There are typos in the email including in the line "we have shared your detail with bank", as well as other scam mail red flags like an urgent call to action regarding payment. It is not clear who the email is from or why it was sent. It comes after the personal information of nearly 19,000 people who applied for the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) was released "in error" in February 2022 by a defence official. 0:45 Excerpts from a spreadsheet containing the data were posted anonymously on a Facebook group, before the MoD became aware of the breach in August 2023. It led to the imposition of a super-injunction in September 2023, which blocked all coverage of the leak. Defence Secretary John Healey offered a "sincere apology" on behalf of the government, calling it a "serious departmental error". Some 6,900 Afghans - comprising 1,500 people named on the list as well as their dependents - are being relocated to the UK as part of this programme, on top of the thousands moved here under the ARAP. The MoD said the relocation costs alone, directly linked to the data breach, will be around £850m. It has previously said: "We will robustly defend against any legal action or compensation. The independent Rimmer review concluded that it is highly unlikely that merely being on the spreadsheet would be grounds for an individual to be targeted, and this is the basis on which the court lifted its superinjunction."

Former Wales boxer caught plotting to import cannabis from Thailand to North Wales after tip off

A former Wales boxer was caught plotting to import cannabis from Thailand to North Wales. UK Border Force officials intercepted two packages with two Welsh addresses on them. Police swooped on Harvey Williams at a Llandudno guesthouse and found drugs along with Williams' partner "cooking" cocaine on a stove to turn it into crack cocaine. Williams and his partner Sophie Williams-Roberts pleaded guilty to drugs offences. Today a judge at Caernarfon Crown Court gave them suspended sentences. An accomplice Thomas Braganca received a 12-month community order. You can sign up for all the latest court stories here Prosecutor Richard Edwards said last year Harvey Williams, 21, and Braganca, 30, had conspired to import cannabis from Thailand. On June 7 last year Harvey Williams had been staying in the Bella Vista Guest House in Llandudno. Police arrived and found both Williams and partner Sophie Williams-Roberts, 30, in a room. She was "cooking crack cocaine on a stove", the court heard. Officers also discovered 17.7g of heroin worth £1,600 and 174 wraps of crack cocaine worth £1,700. They also found scales and evidence the couple been involved in drug dealing. On May 26 Harvey had sent a message about "Thai weed" with the words "I'll have proper cheap. Nice". The court also heard that later on August 6 last year the UK Border Force told North Wales Police about two suspect packages they found containing about a kilo of herbal cannabis with two local addresses. Police arrested the three defendants. Enquiries established Harvey Williams had travelled to Thailand and that Braganca had supplied him with the two addresses for the packages to be sent to. Elen Owen, defending Harvey Williams, said he had had his own drug habit and was paying off drug debts. He had been a boxer for the Welsh national team. She said: "It appears sadly like so many thousands of others (life) unravelled during the Covid period when the positive influences of daily training were taken away from him and he associated with older, negative influences on him, leading to him taking drugs." At one stage, when he was a teenager, his mobility was affected and he went into hospital, she added. He tried to keep away from dealers but he and his family were threatened and he felt he had no choice but to continue his offending, said Ms Owen. But his time on remand in custody has taught him a "salutary lesson". Jemma Gordon, for Sophie Williams-Roberts, said it was "unfortunate" that the mother of three has found herself convicted of such a number of offences. She had suffered trauma and had been using drugs from a young age. Harvey Williams, of Queen's Avenue, Maesgeirchen, Bangor, was given a 24-month jail term, suspended for 24 months, for conspiracy to supply crack cocaine and conspiracy to supply heroin. He also received a concurrent, nine- month suspended sentence for the importation of cannabis. Sophie Williams-Roberts, of Tan-y-Coed, Maesgeirchen, Bangor, was given a 16-month jail term, suspended for 18 months, for conspiracy to supply crack cocaine and heroin. She must wear a trail monitoring tag for six months and attend 15 sessions of rehabilitation activity. Braganca, of Glyn Road, Bangor, was given a 12-month community order for the importation of cannabis. He must do 20 days of rehabilitation activity.
