Afghan data leak Email scam

Some Afghan data leak victims are being offered £86,000 in compensation, in what appears to be scam mail. The phishing email claims to come from the Ministry of Defence (MoD), offering a “compensation via a cheque”, but the MoD has categorically denied any involvement.It raises questions about just who now has access to the leaked data of thousands of Afghan Relocations and Assistance Police (ARAP) applicants, and who is behind the phishing attempt.Excerpts from a spreadsheet containing the data were posted anonymously on a Facebook group, before the MoD became aware of the breach in August 2023. Could this an inside job ?
