Cyber Attack on Dumfries and Galloway Leaks Patient Data

A ransomware group threatens to release 3TB of NHS Scotland data, with NHS Dumfries and Galloway confirmed as the affected board.

The INC Ransom extortion gang is threatening to publish three terabytes of data allegedly stolen from NHS Scotland, specifically targeting NHS Dumfries and Galloway.
Scotland's NHS, providing a wide range of health services, is under threat as cybercriminals demand a ransom to prevent the data leak.
Sensitive patient and staff information, including medical assessments and psychological reports, has been compromised in the breach.
Government and law enforcement agencies, including Police Scotland and the National Cyber Security Centre, are working to assess the breach's impact and support the affected health board.
NHS Dumfries and Galloway assures that patient-facing services continue normally, and affected patients will be directly informed to take protective measures.
