About the Watford Community Housing data leak

The Watford Community Housing data leak has been classed as a “human error” data breach. It involves an email being sent to people that contained a spreadsheet full of personal data for customers.

Some of the data leaked included incredibly sensitive information such as sexual orientation, ethnic origins, and disability information.

In a statement on the WCH website, they said:

“We are taking a variety of steps to assess the potential impact on those affected by the breach, including identifying any safeguarding concerns, and we are contacting relevant customers to provide information, guidance and support.”

However, for the victims whose data has already been leaked, it’s too little, too late.
