Apparently It was down to a bug in window 10 that was patched in March, it would appear NHS and others affected didnt update and patch it... Or so I've just been told 

I'm not so sure about that, Jen. My understanding is that much of the NHS is still running XP.

 

From the Register article I quoted previously:

"The security hole has been patched for modern Windows versions, but not WindowsXP – and the NHS is a massive user of the legacy operating system."

 

Ah yes, that makes sense. Mrjen just said it was the bug we patched in March so we're safe.... I made the rest up in my head ��
