It's weird isn't it Mrrzy? I can't understand how they did it, or why.

Apparently no-one has given in to their demands, and most of the NHS here in UK is 'up and running' once more, thanks to a myriad of IT workers frantically addressing the problem. It could have put lives at risk through delays in blood test results, accessing patients' medical records and so on.

It's worrying that it was so easy to do, in spite of (one would hope) strong safeguards.

I'm the most non-savvy person on the planet when it comes to technology, but even I realise that if this can happen, nothing is safe.
