Ransomware in UK Hospitals
Dear East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust,
1. In the last 5 years, how many times has your trust/hospital suffered from a ransomware attack? Please provide specific dates (months/years) if possible.
2. How much downtime did this cause (in hours)?
3. Did you pay the ransom? If so, how much was the ransom?
4. What was the total cost of the incident to your hospital/trust?
All of the data gathered will be anonymised in our final analysis and no individual trusts will be mentioned.
Yours faithfully,
Rebecca Moody
