The NHS is one of the largest organisations in the world and you would expect it to be very well protected against what seems likely to turn out to be a truly enormous DDOS attack against them. It must have targeted carefully selected crucial points in the network, DNS servers or data centres.
Expect a state involvement, probably Russia, you heard it here first!
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Whoever is responsible (cough Russia cough) are a shower of c**ts
They seem to have done more than just DDOS as well, they seem to have gotten ransomware onto all the PCs - that is some clever attack for sure.

Football is rubbish.
The question is which party will benefit, and how has whoever did this calculated that they will?
Or is it a more general attempt to cause fear and doubt, and if so who would that benefit?
Or am I too paranoid?

The ransomware is just damage I think, if you were a big criminal and genuinely wanted to rip off the NHS...
Firstly you are almost guaranteed to kill people, and there are softer targets, MI5 will be after these guys now
Secondly, why attack the desktops? They likely do have data on them, but the really valuable stuff is in data centres, thats just damage.
Something really big for UK national security has happened here, I'm fascinated to find out what the full story is.
