The ICO has provisionally concluded that Advanced Computer Software Group did not implement adequate measures to safeguard the personal data of 82,946 people affected by the breach, including sensitive information.
The cyberattack disrupted critical services like NHS 111 and compromised data such as phone numbers, medical records, and access details for individuals in home care.
Information Commissioner John Edwards emphasized on prioritizing information security, as the breach not only compromised personal information but also disrupted health services' ability to deliver patient care.
Edwards expressed hope that the fine would drive companies to enhance their data protection measures urgently, highlighting serious failings in data security observed before the incident at Advanced Computer Software Group.
