UK emergency services system taken down by hackers

A major cyber attack is delaying response times on the NHS 111 telephone service in the UK that’s used for medical emergencies, the Telegraph reported.

The target of the breach was Advanced, which is owned by private equity companies. It supplies software for about 85% of the hotline’s services, according to the paper.

I wonder sometimes if a time will come where hackers are shot on site as they will be regarded as cyber terrorists?

Minor technicality, 111 is not for emergencies. Just for urgent help/enquiries.
