Waikato District Health Board (DHB) chief executive Dr Kevin Snee is providing an update after a serious cyber attack on its systems.
The DHB's computers were targeted in a ransomware attack a week ago, believed to have been triggered when someone opened an attachment they shouldn't have.
The group claiming responsibility says it has obtained the personal information of patients and employees. Newshub has been sent what are claimed to be documents stolen in the hack. The group has reportedly given the DHB a deadline to respond, which has since expired.
Snee has previously said they wouldn't pay any ransom but getting everything back online has taken longer than first expected and it could be weeks before services are restored back to normal.
Dr Snee is expected to speak at 1:30pm.
