The head of the cybersecurity department at CCN contacted the Trillion operations team after its global offer of support to help protect digital identities within health services .

After a period of successful operation across the health sector , CCN-CERT decided that a wider scope for Trillion would provide even greater visibility of digital identities , such as account usernames and passwords , that may have been leaked from third parties and shared for exploitation by criminals .
