Cyber attack: Waikato DHB concedes hackers' patient information is genuine
Thu, 27 May 2021, 1:44PM
Waikato DHB bosses are continuing to put contingency plans in plan for deal with patients as work to fix its broken IT system continues.
The Waikato DHB is mainly largely on manual processes after a serious and significant cyber attack locked staff out of its system last Tuesday.
Hundreds of appointments and surgeries have been deferred as a result and some seriously sick or cancer patients are being sent to other hospitals around the country for treatment.
