NHS Scotland Fends Off INC Ransomware: Cybercriminals Thwarted from Wreaking System-Wide Havoc

NHS Scotland dodged a digital bullet, containing a ransomware attack to just one branch—take that, cyber baddies! The INC Ransom group snagged 3TB of data, but Scotland’s tech wizards kept the malware mischief regional. No kilts in a twist across the whole NHS, folks!

Hot Take:

Who knew the NHS could moonlight as cybersecurity ninjas? When faced with the digital equivalent of the sniffles, NHS Scotland didn't just reach for the digital echinacea; they quarantined that malware faster than you can say "cyber-attack on NHS Dumfries and Galloway." Meanwhile, INC Ransom is out there dropping data breadcrumbs like a misguided cybernetic Hansel and Gretel, hoping Scotland will follow the trail right to their ransom payout. Spoiler alert: The UK doesn't negotiate with sanction-listed cyberterrorists, even if they toss 3TB of data over their shoulders for good luck.
