Largest NHS trust hit by cyber attack The largest NHS hospital trust in England has been infected with a virus affecting thousands of sensitive files.
A message sent to staff at Barts Health Trust on Friday morning warns that the trust’s four hospitals are experiencing a “ransomware virus attack.”
The victims of blackmail ransomware usually receive phishing messages in an attempt to elicit money in order to restore access to the computer system.
The trust said it was making “every effort” to avoid disruption to patients treated at its four hospitals in east London: The Royal London, St Bartholomew’s, Whipps Cross and Newham. The Daily Telegraph
