A recent cyber attack on some London hospitals left them unable to carry out hundreds of surgical procedures, including blood transfusions.
It is thought that the hackers responsible, who are allegedly based in Russia, were trying to hold the NHS hospitals to ransom in order to get them to hand over money, in return for the release of the systems and remove all malware that were causing problems.
Investigative technology journalist Geoff White thinks anyone who uses the NHS should be worried about cyber attacks. He says: "This has caused problems at hospitals and GP surgeries, with delays to procedures."
Ian Collins thinks over recent years that the new environment for warfare is by using cyber attacks. He says: "It is digital, it is online... our entire lives are now somewhere connected in cyberspace."
