Client data exfiltrated in Advanced NHS cyber attack
Advanced, a health and care software supplier, confirmed that hackers accessed and extracted client data in a cyber-attack in August 2022. The attackers used LockBit 3.0 malware, leaving some trusts without access to key software systems for two months. The hack affected about 16 of Staffplan and Caresys customers. Advanced has contacted each affected customer and the process of meeting requirements from partners, including National Cyber Security Centre and NHS Digital, is ongoing.
