Patients of the practice could be affected if appointment booking, dental records or imaging systems were disrupted, which could delay treatment. Dental practices hold health, insurance and payment details, so patients could face a higher risk of targeted phishing or fraud if any records were exposed.

In healthcare generally: Patients are the first to feel it: appointments, prescriptions and test results can be delayed, and medical and insurance records are among the most sensitive data a group can threaten to publish.
