Hackers threaten to publish huge cache of NHS Scotland data

A ransomware group has threatened to publish three terabytes of data stolen from NHS Dumfries and Galloway’s IT systems unless its demands are met. The group, known as INC Ransom, has released a ‘proof pack’ containing data from a small number of patients. The health board confirmed that a significant amount of patient and staff data had been accessed in the cyber attack. It is working with Police Scotland and the National Cyber Security Centre to address the issue.
