Many of those impacted by the Manage My Health breach are based in Northland, according to Health New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Hackers, known as ‘Kazu’, took hundreds of thousands of files from the country’s largest patient health information portal at the end of last year.<\/p>\n

So far, Manage My Health has notified about half of the 125,000 whose data has been stolen.<\/p>\n

Health New Zealand said it would ensure support was available for those in Northland.<\/p>\n

Northland operations group director Alex Pimm said Health NZ was looking for funding to allow general practitioners to provide consultation.<\/p>\n

He said those impacted should discuss their clinical information, as well as for mental wellbeing support.<\/p>\n

Those impacted by the data breach would also be provided with an 0800 number to call.<\/p>\n

The cyber incident was limited to 6-7 percent of 1.8 million registered users, within the ‘My Health Documents’ module only, according to Manage My Health.<\/p>\n

The data relates to a range of medical practices, including approximately 45 Northland-based GP practices out of approximately 355 GP practices across New Zealand.<\/p>\n
