Legacy Post Office Software Leads to Miscarriages of Justice; Victims Seek Redress

2025-04-06

Following the Post Office Horizon scandal, older software systems, Capture and Ecco+, are now implicated in further miscarriages of justice. Numerous former subpostmasters were wrongly convicted based on flawed data from these systems. The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) is urging affected individuals to come forward. 97 former subpostmasters have already contacted the SCCRC, with 64 having their convictions overturned. A new independent group, Scottish Postmasters for Justice and Redress, has also been formed to support victims. This highlights the potential for legacy systems to cause significant social harm and underscores the need for redress for those wrongly accused.

These attacks are difficult to detect, potentially remaining unnoticed for extended periods. Signal has implemented security improvements, but users are urged to remain vigilant and avoid suspicious links.
