Barts Health NHS Trust appears on blog of BlackCat ransomware gang

Russian ransomware gang, BlackCat, claims to have stolen over seven TB of data from Barts Health NHS Trust, including CVs, financial reports, and internal hospital information. The group threatened to release the data, warning the trust to negotiate by 3 July. Barts oversees 2.5 million patients across six hospitals and ten clinics. An analyst said that if ransomware were deployed, the disruption would have been noticeable, suggesting Barts might have detected and blocked the ransomware part of the attack.
