A ransomware attack caused the hospital’s system to stop working, making it impossible to perform blood transfusions or surgeries, leading to chaos in several London hospitals and the cancellation of scheduled deliveries.

A ransomware attack on Synnovis, a London-based pathology service provider used by several hospitals, has disrupted services, leading to surgeries, blood transfusions, and other procedures being postponed or redirected. The National Health Service (NHS) is working with Synnovis to resolve the situation with emergency patients being rerouted to unaffected hospitals.
