Stolen data published by hospital hackers

Cyber criminals who caused significant disruption to multiple London hospitals have published sensitive patient data stolen from an NHS blood testing company.

The criminals have tried to extort money from the NHS provider concerned since they hacked the firm in early June.

Cyber security expert Ciaran Martin described it as “one of the most significant and harmful cyber attacks ever in the UK.”

The hack resulted in more than 3,000 hospital and GP appointments and operations being disrupted.
