Held to ransom: Resilience lessons on London’s hospitals cyber attack

A cyber-attack hit London’s major hospitals on June 3rd, affecting services and causing cancellations of non-emergency operations. The ransomware attack on Synnovis, a lab pathology service, impacted southeast London hospitals. Cybersecurity experts suspect that the Russian cybercriminal group, Qilin, may be responsible. Experts predict it may take weeks to minimise the disruption, with Synnovis working with the National Cyber Security Centre to understand the incident.
