An information watchdog has launched a probe into a data breach at Aberdeen City Council, which resulted in hundreds of confidential tax forms being sent to the wrong employees. The 947 P11D documents are for members of staff at the local authority, earning more than 8,500 a year, and contain sensitive information such as national insurance numbers, salaries and addresses.
