Ransomware hackers continue to target NHS hospitals across the UK, compromising multiple hospitals, exposing patient data, and disrupting emergency services.
Inc Ransom, a Russia-linked ransomware group, claims to have breached Alder Hey Children's Hospital Trust and stolen patient records, donor reports, and procurement data.
Alder Hey confirmed the cybersecurity incident and stated that investigations are ongoing to determine if confidential data has been obtained.
Wirral University Teaching Hospital, located near Alder Hey, has also been targeted, forcing the hospital to declare a 'major incident' and causing ongoing disruptions.
