HCRG Care Group cyber attack leaves patient ‘fuming’ | #hacker


HCRG Care Group, formerly Virgin Care, provides community health and social care services across Bath and North East Somerset (BANES), Swindon and Wiltshire.

It is commissioned by the NHS and local authorities to run services like GP practices, urgent care centres and sexual health clinics.

Adams receives daily care at home from nurses at HCRG and earlier this year spent a month in St Martin’s Hospital in Bath with a broken femur.

“You don’t want all your private medical stuff going around, it’s wrong,” he said.

“They’ve only just let us know – 15 months late. I was fuming.”

Adams now receives regular cold calls from unidentified numbers and fears his phone number was included in the breach – something HCRG denies.

He is also increasingly concerned the third-party thieves could use his personal information to access his bank accounts, though the company heavily dispute this.

“It’s disgusting,” he said. “Other people are going to be worried to death over this.”
