A patient died in the United Kingdom after a cyberattack delayed blood test results across hospitals there, according to a National Health Service review, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsj.co.uk\/patient-safety\/exclusive-first-nhs-cyber-attack-death-confirmed\/7039557.article\">as first reported<\/a> by the Health Services Journal.<\/p>\n<p>The FBI referred a request for comment on the inspector general report Saturday to the Department of Justice, which did not immediately respond. El Chapo, the nickname for Joaqu\u00edn Archivaldo Guzm\u00e1n Loera, is currently serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison for 26 drug-related violations and one murder conspiracy.<\/p>\n<p>The overall report assessed how effectively the FBI has protected sensitive investigations in a world of ubiquitous technical surveillance (UTS), ranging from physical surveillance to surveillance of phones or financial records. The FBI had formed a \u201cred team\u201d to address the threat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do not believe that the initial effort of the Red Team to identify the specific, enterprise-wide risks was adequate, potentially leaving several UTS-related threats unmitigated,\u201d the report concludes. \u201cWe are particularly concerned that the Red Team\u2019s recent threat mitigation efforts did not adequately consider existing FBI efforts to mitigate the UTS threat, and that it did not include a sufficient long-term vision for how the FBI will approach the evolving UTS threat after its initial action items are addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Much of the FBI\u2019s response to the draft report is redacted. But it says that \u201cFBI efforts have been multi-faceted and involved many components of the enterprise, working separately and in collaboration, including with other U.S. government agencies facing similar threats. We nevertheless agree that to better understand the threat posed by changing operational technologies, an enterprise-wide assessment of threats posed by operational technology is warranted.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It also agreed with a recommendation to train FBI personnel on the nature of the threat posed by ubiquitous surveillance.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"7.7216117216117\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/hacker-helped-kill-fbi-sources-witnesses-in-el-chapo-case-according-to-watchdog-report-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Tim Starks\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-card__details\" readability=\"10.901098901099\">\n<h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Tim Starks<\/h4>\n<p> Tim Starks is senior reporter at CyberScoop.
