"INC Ransom Threatens to Leak 3TB of NHS Scotland Stolen Data"

The INC Ransom extortion gang has threatened that it is going to publish three terabytes of data allegedly stolen after breaching the National Health Service (NHS) of Scotland.  In a post yesterday, the cybercriminals shared multiple images containing medical details and said that they would leak data "soon" unless the NHS pays a ransom.  Scotland's NHS is the country's public health system, providing services ranging from primary care, hospital care, dental care, pharmaceutical, and long-term care.  INC Ransomware group emerged in July 2023 and targets organizations in both the public and the private sector.  Among the victims are education, healthcare, government organizations, and industrial entities like Yamaha Motor.  A spokesperson for the Scottish government noted that the cyberattack only affected NHS Dumfries and Galloway, one of the regional health boards that make up NHS Scotland.  The spokesperson added that the government is working with multiple entities, including the health board, Police Scotland, and other agencies, to determine the impact of the breach "and the possible implications for individuals concerned."
