Data stolen in cyber attack on health board published on dark web

Cybercriminals breached NHS Dumfries and Galloway’s systems in late February and accessed patient and staff data. Some data was released in March and has since been posted on the ‘dark web’. The health board has set up a helpline and is working with police, national agencies, and the Scottish government as investigations continue. The board and the government advise people to be wary of attempts to access their data.
