NHS IT Supplier Cyberattack – Ransom Demanded

There was a major NHS IT supplier cyberattack that impacted the majority of 111 outsourced systems last month, with incredibly personal and sensitive information reportedly held for ransom.

It was reported that the cybercriminals demanded a ransom on the threat of leaking medical information which could reportedly have affected millions of people.

We know that hackers target the healthcare sector, so it is not surprising to have seen that this incident has occurred. That being said, given how personal and sensitive information is in the healthcare sector, we expect cybersecurity to prevent these kinds of incidents being successful.

Hackers Targeting Retailers – What Data Breach Victims Can Do

Hackers targeting retailers is an increasing problem as the world continues to become more and more digitised and the industry grows exponentially online.

Retailers have an important duty to safeguard the information that they store and process, which can be particularly sensitive given that it will often involve financial information such as payment card data. In the wrong hands, such information could put people at risk of fraud and theft, and the distress that can be associated with knowing that your information is in the hands of criminals can be substantial.

We can provide free, no-obligation legal advice to victims of cyberattacks, and you can contact our team for help here now.
