London hospitals are under a cyber attack from a group called ALPHV, which is allegedly holding seven terabytes of sensitive data ransom. The Barts Health NHS Trust, the UK’s largest, is investigating. The stolen data includes employee identification documents and confidential emails. Despite the breach, no patient data has been published. This is the second attack on the NHS in a month and potentially the UK’s largest healthcare data breach.
