Thousands of Irish motorists have been left at risk of a major data breach.
According to the Irish Independent it involves those whose vehicles have been towed on behalf of Gardaí.
More than half a million documents with details of insurance investigations, vehicle registration certs and card payment details were exposed.
The paper reports the breach was caused by a software error at a Limerick based IT services company retained by tow-truck firms with contacts with the Gardaí.
