The content describes a cyber attack that occurred on June 3rd, targeting Synnovis, a lab company that provides blood testing services to the UK's National Health Service (NHS). The attack has reportedly led to the publication of confidential patient data, including names, dates of birth, and NHS numbers, on a Telegram channel by the cyber criminal group behind the attack.
The incident has caused significant disruption to healthcare services at several large London hospitals, including Guy's, St Thomas', and King's. Over 1,000 elective procedures and 2,000 appointments have been cancelled since the attack. The NHS is working with Synnovis, the National Cyber Security Centre, and other partners to investigate the incident and determine the extent of the data breach.
The cyber criminal group behind the attack has been attempting to extort money from Synnovis, threatening to publish the stolen data if their demands are not met. The NHS has stated that it is aware of the published data and is working to assess the situation as quickly as possible.
