IRD give private information to META?

Gordon from Halswell

My daughter has always been fanatical about privacy and in her younger days knew a very high-up person in the Microsoft world who told her 20+ years ago, not to give her private data to the world, as in years to come it will be used for all sorts of unknown purposes.
She followed this advice right through and you can imagine her anger when she received a letter from the IRD saying "Oops, sorry we gave all your personal data to Meta" (Not account Nos)
Paraphrased- "It was a simple mistake as we were asking Meta to solve a problem we had and sent yours plus other details to them by mistake"
Sorry.
Surly this can not be the end of such a critical personal data breach.
Any ideas?
