The Conservative Party has reported itself to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) following a data breach where hundreds of personal email addresses were accidentally shared in a conference reminder email. The email, intended to be confidential, mistakenly included 345-odd recipients in the 'CC' field instead of 'BCC', exposing personal details including the email addresses of a minister, a national newspaper editor, and a former UK ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
