The Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Trust updated its official line on the incident on Wednesday evening, revealing new details about the case - but remains coy about the true nature of the attack.
After detecting suspicious activity, as a precaution, we isolated our systems to ensure that the problem did not spread. This resulted in some IT systems being offline.
We have reverted to our business continuity processes and are using paper rather than digital in the areas affected. We are working closely with the national cyber security services.
The Trust went on to say that services are still available, although some scheduled appointments "are affected" - without specifying how - adding that some procedures were postponed.
