Hot Take:

Well, it seems the Russian hacking group Qilin has decided to play doctor, but instead of saving lives, they're wreaking havoc on the NHS and holding Synnovis's pathology services hostage. For a mere $50 million, they promise to return the stolen data and maybe even throw in a complimentary anatomy lesson. But hey, who needs operational hospitals when you can enjoy the thrilling chaos of cyber warfare, right?
