NHS IT services held hostage by ransomware hackers
A cyber-attack on a major IT provider of the NHS has been confirmed as a ransomware attack.
The NHS insists that disruption is minimal, but Advanced would not say whether NHS data had been stolen. "If a new patient came to us, we weren't able to read their history or know very much about them," he said. At the end of last week, family doctors in London were warned by NHS England they could see an increased number of patients sent to them by NHS 111 because of the "significant technical issue", industry magazine Pulse reported.
The National Cyber Security Centre, which is part of GCHQ, says it is working with Advanced to help it recover.
