Hospital hackers released NHS numbers and stole test results.

A group of cybercriminals has released private patient information that was taken from an NHS blood testing company, severely disrupting many hospitals in London.
Nearly 400GB of sensitive data were posted by Qilin on their darknet website during the course of Thursday night.
Ever since they broke into the company on June 3, the group has been attempting to demand money from Synnovis, an NHS provider.
Ciaran Martin, a cyber security specialist, told the BBC that it was “one of the most significant and harmful cyber attacks ever in the UK.”
The BBC was given access to a sample of the data, which included blood test descriptions, patient names, dates of birth, and NHS numbers. If test results are included in the data, that is unknown.
Additionally, the intrusion has caused over 3,000 doctor’s visits and hospital operations to be affected.
Among those impacted is a teenage patient receiving cancer treatment.
Dylan Kjorstad’s parents told the news that they were in “disbelief” when they learned that his surgery to remove a tumor from his ribs would be postponed.
It might take several months before systems are restored, according to Mr. Martin, a professor at Oxford University and the former head of the National Cyber Security Center, who made this statement on news.
