London hospitals hackers publish stolen blood test data. As expected, the Synnovis hack has gone from bad to worse. I’ve seen some of the data and it is highly sensitive information about named patients and blood tests. Qilin clearly didn’t get paid. bbc.com/news/articles/c9ww90…

First time I've seen a #cyberattack necessitate a blood drive - a very important example or why #health #security threats must be framed through their clinical consequences. Disruption to blood services is a particular nightmare for #ED & #Surgery. Link >> bbc.com/news/articles/c2eeg9…
The NHS has made an urgent appeal for O blood type donors in response to the cyberattack that forced some of the largest hospitals in London to cancel operations and divert patients to other trusts bmj.com/content/385/bmj.q127…

The cyberattack that led multiple London hospitals to declare a state of emergency on Monday is believed to be the work of the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) group Qilin. #ransomware #cybersecurity #infosec #ITsecurity bit.ly/3VrZP3o

Yet another ransomware attack. This one could be extremely serious. It has led to operations being cancelled at several of London’s largest hospitals today, and a critical incident being declared. therecord.media/london-hospi…

First, medics struggled with #MedTech software issues more than hardware complaints, citing the lack of (1) training in these disease pathways (e.g. #EMI, #software bugs & hacks) & (2) access to digital testing, as significant barriers [3/6]. #MedEd @UCLmedphys @cdt_ai_health #AI
