London hospitals hackers publish stolen blood test data

Cyber criminal gang Qilin has published sensitive data stolen from Synnovis, an NHS blood-testing service provider. The private data, published on their darknet site and Telegram channel, includes patient names, dates of birth, NHS numbers, blood test descriptions, and financial arrangements between hospitals and GP services. The attack has caused major disruption to over 1,000 hospital and GP appointments and operations, marking it as one of the most significant cyber-attacks on the UK health service. Qilin had sought a ransom payment in Bitcoin from Synnovis but released the data after non-payment.
