Detailed maps of high-security prisons in England and Wales have surfaced on the dark web, raising alarms among security officials.

The leak, believed to be orchestrated by organised crime groups, includes sensitive information such as prison layouts, locations of security cameras, and alarm systems.

Authorities fear this could facilitate escapes or smuggling operations, prompting heightened vigilance and additional patrols at affected facilities.

An internal Ministry of Justice alert has warned prison staff about potential breaches to perimeter security and internal alarms, though officials have not disclosed which prisons are implicated.

Security measures have been reinforced, but the breach adds to the pressure on facilities already grappling with contraband smuggling and internal unrest. The UK Ministry of Justice continues to investigate the extent of the damage and address potential weaknesses.
