CEO of Dumfries and Galloway admits circa 150K people should assume their details leaked
The chief exec at NHS Dumfries and Galloway will write to thousands of folks in the Scottish region whose data was stolen by criminals, admitting the lot of it was published after the trust did not give in to the miscreants' demands.
Draft copies of the letters to be sent this week were posted on NHS Dumfries and Galloway's website on Monday. It explains in plain terms what happened, what the attack means for residents, and how to stay safe online in the wake of the incident. "When their demands weren't met, they published the stolen files onto the internet on May 6, 2024. We are advising people in Dumfries and Galloway that the best approach to take is to assume that some data relating to you is likely to have been copied and published.
White went on to say that because millions of files were copied, analyzing them all has been challenging, thus analysis efforts have prioritized the most vulnerable patients.
