Waikato DHB ransomware attack investigation summary report

Scott made this Official Information request to Government Communications Security Bureau

The request was successful.

From: Scott

Dear Government Communications Security Bureau,

The recently released InPhySec investigation into the Waikato DHB ransomware incident refers to a NCSC document that was shared with the report authors:

“GCSB’s involvement through NCSC (the latter is an operating name of the former) included understanding how the attack happened. We have seen the relevant redacted summary of this work, and this is reflected in our report.”

I would like to request a copy of the "summary" that was shared with the report authors that is referenced here.

Yours faithfully,

Scott
