NHS D&G confirms patient data published following cyber attack

Scotland’s NHS Dumfries and Galloway’s data has been breached by a ransomware group that claims to have acquired 3TB of patient and staff data. The group has released a “proof pack” containing a small amount of sensitive patient data. Following the cyber attack, the health board is now working with various organizations, including Police Scotland and the National Cyber Security Centre, to deal with the situation.
