Ransomware Gang hold NHS Hostage

The NHS has confirmed that they are currently in the middle of a Ransomware attack.
NHS England strategic supplier Advanced provides digital services including patient check-in and NHS 111, says it may take three to four weeks to fully recover. It is not clear if this is through negotiation with the hackers or its own recovery processes. In a lot of modern ransomware attacks data is exported prior to making it unavailable and this poses the question of a data breach with a lot of sensitive medical information,
An NHS England spokesperson said: “While Advanced has confirmed that the incident impacting their software is ransomware, the NHS has tried and tested contingency plans in place including robust defences to protect our own networks, as we work with the National Cyber Security Centre to fully understand the impact.
“The public should continue to use NHS services as normal, including NHS 111 for those who are unwell, although some people will face longer waits than usual.
“As ever, if it is an emergency, please call 999.”
IT Ambulance holds ISO27001, the gold standard for data security and best practice security is built into our IT Support Contracts. If you would like to improve your data security, earn security accreditation or if your organisation is the subject of a Ransomware attack call IT Ambulance Ltd.
