Islington Council was forced to notify the Information Commissioner yesterday (Thursday) following the massive breach of data protection which has resulted in the logs of calls from residents of the Andover Estate in Holloway – which included the names, addresses and phone numbers where given – inadvertently falling into the hands of 10 members of a group now banned from the estate off Hornsey Road.
