London hospitals cyberattack: Some operations canceled as attack disrupts patient care

The ransomware attack disrupted IT systems vital to pathology services, significantly impacting the delivery of services. Emergency care continues to be available, however, and government cybersecurity teams are working to fully understand the impact.
