Ransomware Wrangle: London NHS Hospitals Hit Hard by Synnovis Cyber Attack
Ransomware strikes Synnovis, crippling NHS hospitals in London. Blood transfusions, surgeries, and other critical services disrupted. Emergency care remains available, but quick-turnaround blood tests are halted. NHS urges patients to attend appointments unless informed otherwise.
Hot Take:
Looks like Synnovis just gave “critical condition” a whole new meaning. Who knew that a ransomware attack could make blood transfusions even more dramatic? Time to reboot all the things and pray to the IT gods!
Key Points:
- Ransomware attack on Synnovis impacts major NHS hospitals in London.
- Blood transfusions and other critical healthcare services are disrupted.
- Emergency care remains available, but some procedures are canceled or redirected.
- National Cyber Security Centre and Cyber Operations team are investigating.
