When the British Library was hit by ransomware, some systems were down for months. They were old software that didn't run on the newer more secure systems the library had to migrate to. And there was no funding to rewrite them, not without cutting already affected services.

The British Library is still recovering from the 2023 attack, more than three years later... some systems are still not available.
