What has the media said about the NHS London Hospital cyber-attacks?
In a report by the Guardian, a source from the NHS has spoken on the severity of the aftermath of the attack.
A senior NHS source warned: “It is unclear how long it will take for the services to get back to normal, but it is likely to take many months.
“Key to a return to normal will be clarity about how the hackers gained access to the system, how many records have been affected and whether these records are retrievable.”
It is known that six NHS Trusts and numerous GP practices in south-east London have been affected by a cyber-attack, which is known to have been undertaken by Russian criminals.
