NHS medics 'making decisions blind' after ransomware hackers hold IT services hostage

NHS medics are having to make decisions 'blind' and without patient history - after sick ransomware hackers held IT services hostage.

The cyber-attack targeted a major NHS IT provider Advanced, who cover services such as NHS 111 and patient check-ins.

Their services may not recover for a further three to four weeks after the ransomware hackers took control of the IT system.
