Qilin: We knew our Synnovis attack would cause a healthcare crisis at London hospitals

Qilin claims responsibility for a deliberate ransomware attack against Synnovis (Synlab and two London NHS trusts), demanding $50 million and threatening to leak more than 1 TB of data; the incident has disrupted London hospitals and led to over 1,500 canceled procedures. The group alleges political motives and use of a zero-day (both unconfirmed), while analysts note Qilin's history of financially motivated targeting; Synnovis and UK authorities are investigating.
