British defense sources report that included in the recent leak of the personal details of tens of thousands of Afghans who applied for asylum were the details of British spies, special forces operatives, and members of an Afghan special forces at risk of Taliban reprisal.

The information of more than 100 British citizens affiliated with MI6, SAS, and others were included in the dataset due to them vouching for Afghans applying for relocation. The dataset of almost 19,000 Afghans was accidentally released in 2022, with portions of it circulating on Facebook.

The Ministry of Defence became aware of the leak in 2023 and was granted a super-injunction by the High Court, criminalizing both the disclosure of any leaked information or the existence of the order itself. This was the first super-injunction ever requested by the government against the press.

After the leak, the UK government instituted a clandestine relocation policy that moved 4,500 Afghans to Britain, with the government later claiming that it had little evidence that the dataset put the Afghans who worked with Western forces put at risk of Taliban reprisal.

The identities of those in British security and intelligence services are closely guarded, with the data including the identities of a major general and a brigadier. Defense secretary James Healey apologized on Tuesday for the Afghanistan Response Route breach, projected to cost £850 million ($1.1 billion).
