It is almost tragic, as I was writing my last post there was another outbreak of the Conficker worm in an NHS Trust. This time it was in the West Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust. For a while they had no computer systems and had to rely on pen and paper resulting in delays for patients.
Again it will take up to a week to clean all of the infected machines. So here we have people having to work over the weekend as well as the normal working week in order to mop up a mess that could have been prevented by simple patching.
This is just unforgivable and must be costing a fortune to mop up the results of sloppy IT management and security, how do these people justify their positions with these results?
