NHS

Patient information was taken from an NHS appointment booking system by a computer whiz with connections to the international hacking group Anonymous.

The criminal exploited a private contractor's security to gain access to a database that contained private information on up to 1.2 million people.

Attack limited to names, dates of birth, phone numbers and, in some cases, email addresses.

For the management of a website where patients can schedule appointments with a doctor, hospital, or clinic, eight NHS trusts have paid SwiftQueue.

They also manage terminals that patients can use to check in when they arrive in the waiting areas.
