Not the 1st time the NHS has been attacked from what I hear but I started to wonder if there was a gagging order in place.

Yes, NHS12345 isn't hard to guess.

You wonder how they have integrated the supplier in question into the network, one can only presume with zero protection or controls, this sort of thing just should not happen!

It's a pathology service provider rather than the NHS, so they aren't the only organisation with stty nonexistent cybersecurity.
