The children's hospital said it was working with the National Crime Agency after the data was stolen and posted on the dark web
Alder Hey Children's Hospital is working with the National Crime Agency after data was stolen and illegally posted online. Alder Hey confirmed on Thursday, November 28 that it was aware data from systems shared by the children's hospital and Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust had been hacked and shared online. Technology trade magazines have reported that a cyber criminal operation called the INC Ransom group claims to have stolen the data.
' Alder Hey said the incident was not linked to issues seen at Wirral University Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust earlier this week. The Wirral trust - responsible for Arrowe Park Hospital, Clatterbridge Hospital and Wirral Women and Children's Hospital - was the victim of a cyber attack on Monday, November 25. Hundreds of appointments were cancelled and staff were forced to manually record notes as the systems holding records were down.
