AtariLegend Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) A major incident has been declared after NHS services across England and Scotland were hit by a large-scale cyber-attack. Staff cannot access patient data, which has been scrambled by ransomware. There is no evidence patient data has been compromised, NHS Digital has said. The BBC understands up to 25 NHS organisations and some GP practices have been affected. It comes amid reports of cyber-attacks affecting organisations worldwide. A Downing Street Spokesman said Prime Minister Theresa May was being kept informed of the situation, while Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is being briefed by the National Cyber Security Centre. Ambulances have been diverted and patients warned to avoid some A&E departments as a result of the attack. NHS Digital said the ransomware attack was not "specifically targeted at the NHS" and was affecting other organisations. A massive ransomware campaign appears to have attacked a number of organisations around the world. Screenshots of a well known program that locks computers and demands a payment in Bitcoin have been shared online by those claiming to be affected. NHS Digital said the attack was believed to be carried out by the malware variant Wanna Decryptor. "NHS Digital is working closely with the National Cyber Security Centre, the Department of Health and NHS England to support affected organisations and ensure patient safety is protected. "Our focus is on supporting organisations to manage the incident swiftly and decisively, but we will continue to communicate with NHS colleagues and will share more information as it becomes available."

grouse Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Just sucky defence if you ask me but that's what you get if you are underfunding your it department and anyone working in it will confirm this.
