ADVICE: Shell employees at Tullos have been told not to be alarmed
A DATA leak has put Shell oil workers in danger from cyber-criminals and environmental activists, it was claimed today.
A Shell database containing details of 102,000 employees and contractor information was accessed and sent out from the firm, which has a major base in Aberdeen.
The information includes private addresses and mobile phone numbers.
Among those to be sent the details were British blogger John Donovan who said the personal details could be used to dupe staff and put workers in dangerous situation.
He said he knew for certain the data had been passed to a Nigerian activist organisation and six other groups.
And he accused the oil company of covering-up the full extent of risk to staff.
E-mails from Shells chief ethics and compliance officer Richard Wiseman said employee and contractor security could be compromised by the leaked data.
Mr Donovan said: I voluntarily agreed not to make the database accessible online because bosses stressed the potential risk to the personal safety of some Shell employees.
He probably had in mind employees in Nigeria at risk of kidnapping.
However, in a public e-mail sent to all Shell staff, including those in the North-east, Mr Wiseman reassured staff there was no need to be alarmed about the leak, which he said could result in nuisance telephone calls.
A Shell spokesman said: The details of such data are primarily business related. We will investigate this matter and comply with all legal requirements in relation to this issue.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
