Names of abuse suvivors published online in MSD privacy breach
Update: 2025-11-25
Description
The names of five people seeking compensation for sexual abuse in state care were published online in a privacy breach by the Ministry of Social Development. The ministry has removed the link to documents naming the five, but Google searches of the names were still bringing up the MSD information in the search engine's AI summary as of yesterday morning. The ministry has apologised and says the breach was due to human error. Our reporter Jimmy Ellingham has the story, and a warning, this report contains references to suicide.
