Out for Blood: Synnovis and NHS Security Negligence Exposed
The recent Synnovis cyberattack continues to plunge the NHS into further chaos, putting thousands of patients’ lives at risk as critical operations face more delays and cancellations.
Three weeks ago, we shared damning security information with Chief Medical Officer Chris Streather and Synnovis executives, only to be ignored.
Our pleas to the NHS Data Protection Officer and the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) followed, resulting in case number IC-315431-J3K9 being allocated yesterday. Meanwhile people’s lives are at risk…
While we empathize deeply with those requiring these vital services, it is impossible to extend the same to the NHS and Synnovis, whose reckless disregard for security amounts to gross negligence.
If such negligence were displayed by physicians, they would be struck off without hesitation, and possibly tried for their criminal actions.
Synnovis suffered a cyberattack back in April after having maintained exposed and insecure systems for years. Synnovis‘s security negligence enabled digital intrusion and violating their duty of care and all privacy regulations.
This negligence is not just a bureaucratic failure—it is a direct threat to human lives.
