Ransomware gang leaks data stolen from Scottish NHS board

Cyber criminals who identify as Inc Ransom claim to have stolen three terabytes of data from NHS Scotland, including sensitive information on over 140,000 clinical and back-office staff. The extent of the cyber attack, which was initially identified at NHS Dumfries and Galloway, threatens to extend to the wider Scottish health service. The healthcare sector is the third most targeted industry by cyber criminals in the UK, according to Check Point’s threat intelligence.
