This is the best summary I could come up with:
Police officers' personal details have been hacked after a company was targeted in a cyber attack.
The firm in Stockport, which makes ID cards, holds information on various UK organisations including some of the staff employed by Greater Manchester Police (GMP).
The hack means thousands of police officers' names are at risk of being placed in the public domain.
Assistant Chief Constable Colin McFarlane said he understood how concerning the matter was.
The attack comes just over a month after a major data breach within the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
Surnames and initials of 10,000 police employees were accidentally included in a response to a Freedom of Information request.
