London Legal Snafu: Church Abuse Victims’ Details Exposed in Email Blunder
Kennedys Law firm in London accidentally leaked the email addresses of 194 individuals and law firms involved in the Church of England abuse redress scheme. They blamed “human error,” but perhaps should’ve blamed their email etiquette. Maybe AI can help prevent future blunders—like deciding between CC and BCC!
Hot Take:
Oopsie daisy, looks like someone at Kennedys Law Firm hit ‘Reply All’ instead of BCC, turning a sensitive email chain into a privacy piñata. While they’re busy picking up the pieces of their dignity from the floor, the Church of England is probably saying a prayer or two to prevent any more PR messes. One thing’s for sure—this email faux pas is a heavenly reminder that data protection isn’t just divine intervention, but a human responsibility!
Key Points:
– A London law firm accidentally leaked the email details of 194 individuals related to a Church of England abuse redress scheme.
– The firm, Kennedys Law, took responsibility, attempted damage control, and reported the incident to relevant authorities.
– The Church of England, while not directly responsible, expressed concern and is in talks with the firm.
– This incident adds to a string of email blunders in the UK, including a notable case by the Ministry of Defence.
– Historical abuse cases within the Church of England are extensive, with significant past failures in victim support.
