NHS cyber attack that forced major UK hospitals to cancel ops carried out by group of Russian cyber criminals

A group of Russian cyber criminals operating as Qilin have caused significant disruption to several major hospitals, including King’s College, and Guy’s and St Thomas’, after a ransomware attack forced a halt to operations including diagnostic blood testing and blood transfusions. Experts suggest that the group are likely demanding large sums of money to restore services while threatening to publish confidential data online.
