NHS laptop loss could put millions of records at risk
A laptop containing unnamed patient information has gone missing from a subsidiary of the NHS North Central London health authority, putting the privacy of patients at risk.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation said the "probable data breach" involved Nato's E-Bookshop, a service for releasing documents to the public that is operated by an external company. The site does not contain classified documents, Nato said in a statement on Thursday, adding that the site has now been blocked and subscribers have been notified.
It is unknown whether the attack is related to Nato's recent clash with the online group Anonymous after the global organisation warned member nations about the rising threat of "hacktivism", or carrying out cyberattacks for political purposes.
