Huge cyberattack causes canceled procedures in major London hospitals

The UK’s National Health Service (NHS) has been hit by a major ransomware cyberattack targeting its partner, Synnovis. The attack has affected several hospitals across London and primary care services, disrupting blood transfusions, testing results, and on fewer occasions, scheduled operations. Authorities believe recovery of pathology results could take weeks, potentially impacting emergency care amid the inability to conduct quick testing.
