Sources confirm that over 100 hospitals across the UK have been forced to revert to pen and paper after a coordinated cyber-attack crippled their digital systems. The assault, which struck early this morning, targeted a centralised patient management system used by the National Health Service. Staff describe chaos: cancelled surgeries, diverted ambulances, and frantic doctors scrawling notes by hand.
The British cybersecurity chief, who spoke on condition of anonymity, called the attack a 'stark escalation' in a simmering digital war. Uncovered documents suggest the attackers demanded a ransom in cryptocurrency, though officials refuse to confirm. This is not a drill: the threat is rising, and the suits in Whitehall are scrambling.
