Data of thousands of Dumfries and Galloway patients published by hackers

Hackers INC Ransom have published patient details from NHS Dumfries and Galloway on the dark web. The group had previously attacked the health board and released some data to prove their capabilities. The published information includes details about accident and emergency, biochemistry, child and adolescent mental health services, and administrative services. The health board is working with law enforcement agencies to assess the scope of the published data. A helpline is available for members of public who have concerns about the breach.
