NHS patients’ data still exposed in ‘honeypot for hackers’ after ‘failing to act’ on cyber attack warnings

The NHS has reportedly failed to secure an infamous database. Before the database was breached healthcare officials were warned of its weakness but neglected to act. Potentially millions of people private records are at risk due to the health body’s apparent negligence. Cybersecurity experts claim that servers continue to use old technology without two-factor verification. In addition, the Federation of Clinical Registries has voiced concerns over issues with patient data and clinical registries, claiming that the NHS’s methods are not secure.
