Scottish Govt Suffers Potentially Widening Data Breach at Prosecutor's Office

The Scottish Government's Prosecutor's Office experienced a data breach involving a third party vendor. The vendor's compromise may have extended access to other government agencies, potentially widening the scope of the incident.

Why it matters: Scottish Government staff, justice sector partners, and citizens whose data is held by prosecutors face exposure; practitioners should assess whether their organization uses the same third party vendor and verify their own access logs.
