Waikato DHB hackers email RNZ claiming to have personal data

From Checkpoint, 5:07 pm on 25 May 2021

A group purporting to be responsible for the cyber attack on the Waikato DHB has emailed RNZ, saying it has personal information of patients and employees.

The email, which RNZ has sent on to police, says it gave the DHB seven days to respond.

It says without the group's help, the DHB will have to restore the network completely.
