Hack That Crippled London Hospitals Is Only the Latest to Hit UK



In June of last year, a Russian cybercrime gang called BlackCat hacked the Barts Health NHS Trust, a part of the UK’s National Health Service that operates several hospitals in London, and published some of it online in an extortion attempt.

Last month, a different group, called INC Ransom, published a huge trove of data — three terabytes’ worth — culled from a hack of the NHS Dumfries and Galloway, an NHS board overseeing a region of Scotland for the health service.
