The Advanced Computer Software Group, serving the UK's National Health Service, faced a significant data breach due to a LockBit ransomware attack. This incident compromised the personal data of 79,404 individuals and resulted in a substantial fine of $3.95 million by the Information Commissioner's Office. The fine reflects the seriousness of the failure to implement comprehensive security measures, such as multi-factor authentication, thus rendering the company's systems vulnerable to cyber-attacks. This event serves as a reminder of the importance of stringent cybersecurity defenses in safeguarding sensitive data.
