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

Russian cyber-criminal group, Qilin, is behind a ransomware attack that disrupted operations at major London hospitals. The attack, which likely demands hundreds of thousands of pounds to restore service, specifically targeted pathology services and potentially endangers confidential data. Former head of the National Cyber Security Centre, Ciaran Martin, noted this as one of the most serious UK cyber crimes. The attack impacted hospitals like King’s College and Guy’s and St Thomas’.
