The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has sent an accidental email sharing the personal email addresses of over 1000 Australians who are still stuck overseas due to Covid-19.
DFAT officials have acknowledged the fault and recalled the original email while urging unintended recipients to delete it.
The email had been issued to those wishing to apply for the Financial Hardship program however all recipients were not blind carbon copied, allowing the approximately 1200 email addresses to be visible to all who received it.
