The Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) has formed an accountability task force after an employee leaked an email that exposed the personal details of world leaders attending the G20 summit. In addition, the organization is updating its policies and has removed the autocomplete feature on its email platform. Earlier this week, an employee accidentally sent an email with this private data to the wrong person after incorrectly filling out the autocomplete feature. The personal data from world leaders including U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin were exposed in the breach.
