Barts Health NHS trust cyberattack claimed by BlackCat

The Barts Health NHS Trust, which oversees the care of over 2.5 million citizens, has been targeted in a cyberattack by BlackCat, a Russian ransomware gang. The group claims to have stolen over 70TB of sensitive data, including CVs, financial reports, and internal hospital information. The gang has set a July 3 deadline for the Trust to negotiate, warning it will release the data if the trust does not comply.
