Qilin ransomware gang linked to attack on London hospitals

A ransomware attack on Synnovis has been linked to the Qilin gang and has locked Synnovis out of systems, disrupting pathology services for major London NHS hospitals (Guy's and St Thomas', King's College Hospital, and primary care providers). The report outlines Qilin's history, its development of a sophisticated Linux encryptor targeting VMware ESXi, its double-extortion tactics, and ongoing operational impacts including postponed procedures and prioritized urgent testing.
