NHS Scotland hit by ‘ongoing’ cyber attack amid fears hackers have stolen patients’ personal data

Posted on March 15, 2024 by Dissent

During these incursions into our systems, there is a risk that hackers have been able to acquire a significant quantity of data.

Harry Williamson of The Sun reports:

A Scots health board has been hit by an ongoing cyber attack.

Hackers targeted NHS Dumfries and Galloway and may have accessed patient data.

Staff have been urged to stay alert for any attempts to access their information.

The “focused” attack is being probed by Police Scotland and the National Cyber Security Agency.
