The UK'S largest NHS TRUST has been a victim of a cyber attack reportedly caused by a Trojan Malware, probably because it's still running Windows XP.
According to the reports, there has been no data compromise, and there is no cancellation of any appointments due to the attack.
Barts Health Trust runs The Royal London, St Bartholomew's, Whipps Cross, Mile End and Newham hospitals. The attack forced systems to be briefly taken offline. But now everything is running fine.
"The virus has been quarantined, and all major clinical systems are now up and running. No patient data was affected, there was no unauthorized access to medical records, and our antivirus protection has now been updated to prevent any recurrence," a Barts spokesperson told ZDNet.
Barts Health NHS Trust put up a notice on its website: "We are urgently investigating this matter and have taken a number of drives offline as a precautionary measure.
"We have already established that the Cerner Millennium patient administration system and the clinical system used for Radiology are not affected. We have tried and tested contingency plans in place and are making every effort to ensure that patient care will not be affected."
Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Foundation Trust became the victim of a similar attack in October.
