The National Crime Agency are said to be investigating
Greater Manchester Police has told staff of a 'potential data breach' at a third party supplier the force uses to produce its officer and staff identification badges.
It says data from the badges including names, ranks, photos and serial numbers 'may have been accessed', but there's nothing to suggest addresses or financial detail is involved. The reported hack is similar to the situation faced by the Metropolitan Police last month, the M.E.N. understands. The email to GMP staff said there had been a 'potential data breach at a supplier used by GMP to produce identification badges' after the company had been the victim of a 'ransomware attack'.
Investigators have established that data from the badges including names, ranks, photos and serial numbers 'may have been accessed'.
