        Tory underfunding has left the NHS vulnerable to this sort of non-targeted attack. Jeremy Hunt should resign immediately. #nhscyberattack

        That's true. PFI was a terrible idea that we'll be paying for forever.

        Funding allows things like, I dunno, the replacement of deprecated OS? (I know COTS systems are a bit their own thing, but still.)

        Including replacement of all the software requiring deprecated OSes. Plus you need funding for people to keep old file servers patched.

        The NHS wasn't the only attack. Spain and Portugal were hit as well. Didn't realise the Tories had authority over healthcare there as well?

        If it is a piece of ransomware as is being reported then it can be protected against, this isn't some zerohour attack, lack of investment

        Only lack of investment is in staff being vigilant to phishing emails or clicking links they shouldn't. Ransonware is currently not clever
