Breaking The Department of Home Affairs has been ordered to compensate asylum seekers over a privacy breach that released the personal information of detainees in immigration detention.

The Australian government has been ordered to pay compensation to asylum seekers whose details were exposed in a data breach seven years ago.

The massive privacy breach relates to the mistaken release of a detention report on the department's website in 2014. Australia's privacy regulator found the report contained embedded personal details that could identify all persons held in mainland detention and on Christmas Island.
