Data stolen in cyber attack on health board published on dark web

Hackers have published a significant amount of patient and staff data from NHS Dumfries and Galloway onto the dark web following a cyber attack in late February. The health board has set up a helpline and is investigating the incident alongside local police, the National Cyber Security Centre and the Scottish Government. A small batch of data was released in March, with the threat of further leaks, prompting warnings for people to be alert for unsolicited attempts to access personal or NHS data.
