A second data breach that may bring risks to dozens of Afghan interpreters has been uncovered on Wednesday as the UK’s Ministry of Defence (MoD) investigates an almost identical incident uncovered three days ago.

The BBC revealed that defence officials mistakenly copied in 55 applicants of Afghan Relocations Assistance Policy (ARAP) in an email that could be seen by all recipients earlier this month.
