In December 2024, North Tyneside Council was reportedly involved in a data breach that exposed the email addresses of 143 parents of disabled children. The breach reportedly occurred when a council email was sent to multiple recipients without properly using the blind carbon copy (bcc) function, meaning the personal email addresses of all recipients were visible to everyone on the list.
