Simeon Brown is like Malcolm Tucker without the charm & certainly not the intelligence.
This has happened on Simeon's watch, the buck has to stop with his resignation - nothing less will suffice.

A new press release from ManageMyHealth has gone out.
It appears to contain an apology and announcement of a High Court injunction on accessing any files released as part of this incident.
No hard ETA on comms beyond "this week"

Spray paint a plane and they'll detain you without trial and call you a terrorist.
Kidnap a foreign head of state - and Keir Starmer will make it clear we've played no part in it but will wait for the scheduled press conference in a few hours before potentially condemning it

A 48 hour deadline might well mean members of the public find out there data is in it via the breach rather than an individual notificsation from the company as theirs was going to be following confirmation of forensics and missions with PHOs and GPS
About 10 minutes ago, "Kazu" posted the following statement regarding ManageMyHealth.
Their stated reason for lowering the deadline is frustration with ManageMyHealth's response to their messages. They also cite the relatively fast public acknowledgement of the breach as another reason.

It's possible that a year from now, on Dec. 31, we will be able to say that things are better now than they were a year ago. I don't think that was possible a year ago. So there's something to hold on to!
