Sensitive records office data accessed in cyber attack on health board

Sensitive data from the National Records of Scotland (NRS) was compromised in a cyber attack on the NHS Dumfries and Galloway IT network in March 2024. The attack affected fewer than 50 individuals, whose data was temporarily held on the network. NRS is working closely with local police, the Scottish government, and other agencies to investigate the incident, and is contacting those affected.
