NHS vendor Advanced won’t say if patient data was stolen during ransomware attack

Advanced, an IT service provider for the U.K.’s National Health Service (NHS), has confirmed that data was stolen in an August ransomware attack. Hackers used legitimate third-party credentials to access its systems, including the Adastra patient management system and Carenotes. Advanced is yet to confirm if patient data has been compromised and there is no evidence to suggest the stolen data exists elsewhere.
