NHS may fail to count London hospital cyberattack death toll

Cybersecurity CEO warns of need to record deaths stemming from cyberattacks, after operations were interrupted and blood transfusions halted at major London hospitals due to a ransomware attack. Russian hackers suspected of the attack. The inability to accurately track such deaths means the real impact of cyber assaults remains hidden. In an earlier report, CEO Tarah M. Wheeler argued that 300 people likely perished due to the WannaCry attack in 2022, but without definitive record this went uncounted.
