NHS IT blunder sees system clogged after email sent to 1.2 million employees Large sections of the NHS email system ground to snail's pace this morning after an IT worker sent a message to 840,000 employees due to a bug in the system
Some staff used the email function “reply to all”, flooding servers with extra traffic and making the system unusable for many.
Exasperated doctors and nurses took to social media to complain about the avalanche of emails in their inboxes and begging colleagues to stop replying.
Others complained that they had not been able to log in to their accounts at all.
One health service manager tweeted: “So essentially #nhsmail users have all just carried out a DDoS [distributed denial of service] attack on themselves”. The Daily Telegraph
