The Post Office has agreed to compensate more than 500 former subpostmasters wrongfully convicted in the Horizon scandal - after bunging officials accidentally leaked their names and addresses on its website.
In a staggering data breach, the Mail revealed last June how 555 Post Office victims had their personal details published on the company's website.
It was described as an insult to injury by those whose lives have already been ruined by being falsely accused of stealing in Britain's biggest ever miscarriage of justice.
The 555 former postmasters whose home addresses have been published were among the group involved in bringing High Court class litigation against the Post Office in 2019.
Hundreds of innocents were bankrupted, jailed or driven to suicide after being wrongly accused of plundering their own tills between 1999 and 2015, when money appearing to be 'missing' from their branch accounts was really down to an IT glitch.
