Several months ago Synnovis Italy suffered a cyberattack that resulted in disruption and chaos. Despite this intrusion, Synnovis failed to identify, address, or remediate their exposed and insecure servers.
Synnovis lack of action placed thousands of patients at risk. Synnovis and those patients remain at the same, if not increased risk.
Despite the first and subsequent attack on the 4 June 2024, Synnovis and NHS servers remain insecure despite our information sharing and offers to help all concerned. Including the Information Commissioner’s Office.
The first and second attacks were easily enabled and facilitated the extraction of data via insecure Internet Assets and insecure servers.
A robbery, any robbery cannot take place without access being gained. That fact is the same for any physical, or digital theft.
Despite having one of the best Intelligence Agencies in the world, it is surprising that Synnovis and the NHS remain so exposed. However, a similar attack on the UK’s The Electoral Commission servers also remain insecure despite the data theft of 41 million UK Citizens from Aug 2021 to Oct 2022 when our Intelligence Agency also were parachuted in.
