In early June, the notorious Russia-based crew attacked Synnovis, which provides pathology services to National Health Service hospitals in London. The digital breach has led to operations being canceled or postponed for thousands of patients.

To add insult to injury, the ransomware scum began leaking a trove of stolen patient data on Friday. A spokesperson told The Register that they have no regrets about crippling hospitals.

On Monday, NHS England said it was working with Synnovis and the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) to respond to the ransomware infection.
