Nik_B 3,790 Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 It was malware/ransonware not a virus So what you are saying is someone being paid by the public was surfing the net & probably watching porn.... I can buy that Sometimes I think the public sector is a bit like benefits for the 'educated' but unemployable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
terryd 8,774 Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I doubt they targeted the nhs just some silly sod opened some thing he shouldn't and went some where he shouldn't and downloaded the virus As for what it can do it can pretty much encrypt any data visible on the network making it unreadable so suddenly doctors have no history on you or a clue what the hell is going on. With people turning up for appointments and the hospital having no idea why they are there. Pretty bad do. So this is where we find out how good there backups are Quote Link to post Share on other sites
