Cyber security update – Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust

The Trust thwarted a cyber-attack in March 2023, where a hacker tried to execute a ransomware attack and infiltrate its network. Although there is evidence of some data exfiltration, it’s unclear what data was transferred. No misuse of data or complaints have been recorded. Both staff and patients should continue to exercise cyber vigilance. For concerns, individuals are encouraged to reach out to the Trust’s data protection officer or PALS team.
