Video / Waikato DHBFrom RNZThere is widespread alarm about what might happen to highly sensitive patient and staff information from Waikato District Health Board, that hackers claim to have obtained. Waikato DHB chief executive Kevin Snee described the hacker as a 'malicious actor' who would be monitoring what the board says. Waikato DHB chief executive Kevin Snee said the DHB was constrained by what it could say. The documents appeared to include recent data on staff numbers and names, including financial records, contracts and complaints, as well as sensitive patient information, Pennington said. "It would be a very big exercise indeed to fake something like this, it does appear that they do have sensitive patient information ... there is a lot of it."
