A man has been arrested following a search linked to a PSNI data breach earlier this year.
Details of around 9,500 police officers and staff were mistakenly published online in August in response to a freedom of information request.
The list includes the surname and first initial of every employee, their rank of grade, where they are based and the unit they work in.
