WannaCry cyber attack cost the NHS £92 MILLION The WannaCry computer hacking scandal which crippled the NHS last year cost the health service £92 million, a report revealed today.
Around £72 million was spent on IT support in the wake of the virus, while a further £20 million was added to the bill from 'lost output'.
In response, the Government says all health trusts should make plans to upgrade their cyber security, in a move which could cost up to £1 billion.
But leaked emails seen last week showed NHS chiefs are reluctant to pay for the higher protection, saying it 'would not be value for money'. The Daily Mail
