Cyber security update – Walsall Healthcare NHS Trust

The Trust faced a cyber-attack and ransomware attempt in March 2023, with some data possibly extracted, estimated to be around 1% of the total. However, patient data and financial information were not compromised, and ongoing monitoring revealed no misuse. Security measures have been strengthened and vigilant cyber practice is advised. Despite some data possibly being taken, there is no evidence it has reached the public domain.
