1) How many cyber-attacks have been conducted against the Trust in the past three years? ONE
2) Please detail the date of each attack. 6th January 2016
3) Please detail in each instance what services were disrupted and for how long.
A USB device containing a virus was connected to the network which infected data within a windows file share in a particular department-this created disruption for the service until resolved. It is impossible to say who/ how data may have been affected as services use file shares for a number of purposes, however patient data would usually be held on clinical systems and not within file shares.
4) Please detail the estimated cost to the Trust of cyber-attacks in the past three years.
We do not hold this information. The attack disrupted the service in terms of availability of documents but did not compromise the delivery of service as it affected data in file shares rather than clinical systems.
