NHS England revealed today that multiple London hospitals impacted by last week's Synnovis ransomware attack were forced to cancel hundreds of planned operations and appointments.
Ongoing service disruptions at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, and primary care providers across South East London result from Synnovis being locked out of its systems by a June 3 attack linked to the Qilin ransomware operation.
"The data for the first week after the attack shows that, across the two most affected Trusts - King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust - more than 800 planned operations and 700 outpatient appointments needed to be rearranged," the NHS said.
