Investigation into cyber attack ‘could take weeks’, says NHS England

A website and crisis line has been created for patients impacted by a ransomware attack on healthcare provider Synnovis. In early June, Russian group Qilin attacked Synnovis and hundreds of operations and appointments had to be canceled. NHS England reported that investigations into the attack would take some time. Data from Synnovis was published by the criminals, including personal patient information. The National Crime Agency and National Cyber Security Centre are verifying the published data.
