British privacy and intelligence experts have raised alarm bells after a government department in charge of the U.K.s cybersecurity strategy accidentally published the addresses of prominent public figures and government officials.<\/p>\n

A spreadsheet listing the addresses of 1,097 prominent public figures, including musician Elton John, politician Iain Duncan Smith, as well as top civil servants, academics and Holocaust survivors, was accidentally published online Friday by the U.K. Cabinet Office.

Silkie Carlo, the director of privacy non-profit Big Brother Watch said it was worrying to see the government lacking a \u201cbasic grip on data protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIts a farcical and inexcusable mistake, especially given the new Data Protection Act passed by the government last year \u2014 it clearly cant stick by its rules,\u201d Carlo told theRead More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n
