SUNDAY MAIL EXCLUSIVE: None of the victims contacted by the Sunday Mail had any knowledge that their details were part of the NHS cyber attack.

A PENSIONER couple have blasted NHS chiefs for failing to tell them their most intimate medical details have been leaked online.

A police investigation is still ongoing but the criminals published 3TB of documents - around 43million emails’ worth - on Monday after the health board failed to pay. None of them had been contacted by the health board and they were now worried about being targeted by scammers.“We’d seen the news about the data being stolen but never in a million years did we think our own information was part of that.

Julie Hogg, a housewife from Dumfries, has also had private details about her medical care released online by the hackers but had no idea until the Sunday Mail told her. NHS Dumfries and Galloway said it has set up a helpline for people affected, but Julie said: “The helpline is not much use if you don’t even know that your information has been stolen.”
