Biobank might have only told the government about this on Monday, but here's an article from 1 month ago about the records being leaked (to github!) during 2025:

They should be permanently shut down if that’s the case.

Not sure how that follows. It seems mostly irrelevant whether the new incident is related to the github issue.

What a joke and not a good one. I remember getting the letter through post to participate and telling my wife I don't trust these guys with that level of personal information. Sad that it came true.
