A ransomware attack that hit pathology services provider Synnovis on Monday and impacted several major NHS hospitals in London has now been linked to the Qilin ransomware operation.
Memos sent by officials of hospitals affected by the Synnovis ransomware attack revealed on Tuesday that this "Ongoing critical incident" has had a "Major impact" on their procedures and operations.
Qilin's dark web leak site is currently down, although there is no evidence that this outage is linked to the ransomware attack that hit Synnovis' systems on Monday, June 3.
The Qilin ransomware operation surfaced in August 2022 under the "Agenda" name but was rebranded as Qilin one month later.
