Andrew Little: Health Minister says cyber attacks are now a daily reality for health services around the country - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

The Health Minister says cyber attacks are now a daily reality for health services around the country.

Pinnacles Midlands, a network of GP practices in Taranaki, Rotorua, Taupo-Turangi, Thames-Coromandel and Waikato, have been targeted by a cyber attack.

The patient data of up to 450,000 people may have been compromised.

Andrew Little told Tim Dower it follows attacks on a Wellington service in 2018, and Waikato DHB last year.

“Most organisations these days need to be aware of the risks and take steps to mitigate them."
