Medical details hacked and held for $10 million ransom

In a shocking (but inevitable) development of cybercrime, a criminal group have claimed that they have stolen and encrypted 8.3 million patient records from the Virginia government.

Whilst this claim remains unsubstantiated at the moment (including claims they have stolen their back-up data) there is no doubt that this type of crime will increase.
