>why would anyone want to know the heath, payment choices, genealogy of an entire country?
are you being retarded? literally any nefarious digital entity would love to have that type of information its probably at least worth tens of millions of pounds at wholesale prices

>centralized heath data gets fucked over
ya dont say

This could kill a lot of people, theoretically - if they dont fix it ASAP it could be really, really bad. Kind of a world first, isnt it?

does anyone know what the deadliest purely-cyber attack in history is so far?

>>60345757

i feel like only state actors would have a use for that kind of information, i dont think some random individual hacker would go for it

unless theyre planning to sell it to China or Russia or something

>holding an entire country's healthcare system hostage for $300

This has to have been an accident, right? Surely if the hackers knew what they were hacking they would have asked for a LOT more?

>>60345760
i assume that something has already happened somewhere but the entity that was victimized downplayed it. there was the whole debacle with peoples "smart" shit getting taken and used to ddos social media sites but that didnt kill anyone.

>>60345777
maybe its a ransom group yah I could see that. But i agree some kind of state actor seems probable, then again maybe its just one agency or particular groupd within a country and not "authorized" nevertheless this is a perfect example why centralized medicine is a retarded idea. i feel bad for the brits right now

>>60345808
I think it's $300 per infected machine, and they're probably all infected by now.

>>60345840
I can confirm it isn't on every machine, just on the central server, I work in the NHS

>>60345808
$300 per machine. Your average hospital will have hundreds of individual computers, all networked in to the country-wide NHS system. We're talking the national healthcare system for 65,000,000 people.

>>60345808
Pretty much. Some dipshit put this ransomware on a drive and came into work and it spread.

>>60345710
You need the private key dipshit.

>>60345824
i dont think the takeaway is necessarily that centralized medicine is a bad idea, just that if you ARE gonna have it you should have mil-spec computer security surrounding it

Largest spanish ISP got hit too, as have a couple other European organisations.

Might be a zero-day exploit, since it seems to attack with impunity.

That's a stock photo my friend

>>60345876
Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Trust admitted in an FOI request to having over ten thousand machines running XP even though their extended support deal ran out over two years ago.

>>60345876
What? The main server got hacked. That's one machine.

Doctors are mostly old (40+)
I guess its unsurprising the NHS has such an uninformed approach to cybersecurity. I bet this mistake won't happen again though.

>>60346060
Look at Twitter. NHS staff members are posting photos of personal workstations being encrypted.

why did NHS not have that already??? and i understand your point that is too broad of a statement, let me get it more on point then.
65M peoples health and genealogy information should not be able to be accessed in one place.
anytime the dr asks me if I want paperless lab results/email notification I always make sure to sign the extra forms saying NAH bc fuck having my health data sent via http bought by the shit budget of a clinic. either way I wonder if someone will actually get in trouble for this bc holy shit is that not a big fuck up, i bet its spookitime for brits right now

They aren't accessible in one place - there is no way to get patient records or information from the central compromised server. The NHS Trust have said that no patient information has been accessed.

However what you CAN do is remote install ransomware that locks up all of the information rendering it unusable.

And I think its a fair bet that the UK cybersecurity departments are going to make sure that if the culprits *can* be found, they will be found. British SigInt is world class.

I wouldn't be surprised if once the ransomer wakes up and realises what he's done he panics and immediately releases all the computers for free

Could it have been 4chan the hackman?

i mean I would think not but lets pretend the attack was worse would they really say "ya we got pwnd 100%" ? i would think they would lie if that happened but I would hope that there protections against that sort of thing would be more secure, BUT in the USA too agencies like HUD "misplaced" 500million so I dont put anything passed be possible for giant state agencies in any country. for the brits sake hopefully its just ransom

Not some. See >>60346039, there are entire hospital trusts still using it. They all paid Microsoft for the extended XP packages because apparently ten million dollars for one more year of support was a smarter option than just upgrading.

I think this may be a long term repercussion of the scrapped Fujitsu NHS systems overhaul from a few years ago. Basically, the whole thing was so pants on head retarded and broken that the NHS fired Fujitsu and had to undo their shit, go back to old systems and start again.
