DHBs refuse to release reviews into cyber security

From Morning Report, 7:23 am on 5 July 2021

The country's District Health Boards are refusing to release reviews done of their cyber security systems weeks after Waikato DHB was struck by ransomware attackers.

They blanket refused Official Information Act requests, arguing it would only help attackers to let the public know what concerns or risks have come up.

Reporter Phil Pennington lodged OIAs with each DHB after the Waikato attack.
