英格兰和威尔士的每一支警察部队都被要求先提供证据进行司法鉴定，由此导致一家英国警方主要的司法鉴定服务商受到了犯罪的网络攻击。“我们的首要任务——与警察和犯罪专员协会一起——尽量减少对刑事司法系统的影响。目前还不清楚他们在调查过程受到了多少次的网络攻击影响。“警方调查仍在继续，但目前还没有证据能表明之前的定罪是不安全的。”国家犯罪局目前正在领导对网络攻击的刑事调查。国家网络安全中心指出，他们也在努力减轻造成的任何伤害。

Every police force across England and Wales has been forced to prioritise evidence for forensic testing following a criminal cyber attack affecting one of the primary forensic service providers to UK policing. “Our priority - alongside the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners - is to minimise the impact on the criminal justice system. It is not known how many of their investigations have been affected by the cyber attack. “Police investigations continue, but at this stage there is no evidence to suggest that previous convictions are unsafe.”The National Crime Agency is now leading the criminal investigation into the cyber attack. The National Cyber Security Centre said it is also working to mitigate any harm caused.
