According to the British newspaper The Telegraph, a significant cyber attack has delayed response times on the UK’s National Health Service (111) phone service, which is utilised in medical emergencies.
According to Bloomberg, the hackers targeted Advanced, a company that provides software for almost 85 percent of hotline services.
Call handlers can use the Adastra system of the corporation to dispatch ambulances, establish urgent appointments, and fill emergency prescriptions.
According to a National Health Service official referenced in the article, people who require an ambulance are given priority.
The systems will be down until August 9.
The NHS emergency line has been interrupted due to a cyber attack.
