A cyber attack by a Russian cyber gang has severely disrupted services at several London hospitals, leading to the postponement of more than 1,000 planned operations and over 3,000 outpatient appointments. Pathology services provider Synnovis was the primary victim of the ransomware attack. Surgeons have continued to work during the junior doctor strike to mitigate the impact. The attack has caused significant delays, with another 1,300 outpatient appointments, 205 elective procedures, and over 1,000 NHS operations postponed.
