NHS supplier Advanced pays just over £ 3 million ($ 3.8 million) in fines for non -implementation of basic security measures before it received a ransomware attack in 2022, the data protection regulator of the VK has confirmed.
It is half the fine that the office of the information commissioner had initially searched in August 2024, when the data watchdog said it would promote more than £ 6 million for its security failure.
The ICO said on Wednesday that the advanced “Data Protection legislation” broke out by multi-factor authentication not to be completely rolled out prior to the infringement, so that hackers could break into stolen references and steal the personal information of tens of thousands of people in the United Kingdom.
The Lockbit -Ransomware attack on advanced widespread malfunctions in the NHS, including patient data systems that maintain Advanced on behalf of the NHS.
Advanced confirmed in a statement that it had solved the case. Advanced refused to call a spokesperson when he was asked by Techcrunch.
