A DATA leak endangering oil workers was committed by undercover environmental activists, it has been claimed.
The Evening Express told how a database containing more than 100,000 personal details about Shell employees and contractors was leaked from the oil firm.
A 116-strong group claiming to be full-time Shell employees some of whom could be working in Aberdeen have claimed responsibility for the data leak.
And the group claims the Shell database leak was an organised inside job to highlight alleged human rights abuses in oil-rich Nigeria.
