Why the NHS could face more cyber-attacks in London

A leading cybersecurity expert has warned that the NHS remains vulnerable to further cyber-attacks unless it updates its computer systems.

This stark assessment comes in the wake of a major ransomware attack that has severely disrupted healthcare services across London.

Prof Ciaran Martin, the founding CEO of the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), told the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ: "I was horrified, but not completely surprised. Ransomware attacks on healthcare are a major global problem."

Prof Martin's warnings suggest more urgent action may be needed. He's been speaking to Salma El-Wardany on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio London.
