CANBERRA, Australia, March 30 (UPI) -- Australia inadvertently leaked data about world leaders, including President Barack Obama, prior to a G20 summit in November 2014.
Human error caused the release of passport numbers, visa details and other personal information by the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection. Data on 31 summit-level participants at the meeting in Brisbane, Australia, was sent to organizers of the Asian Cup soccer tournament, an event held in January in Australia, and the data breach was not reported until Monday, when it was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian.
