In early June, the Hacker Group “Qilin” – carried-out a large-scale cyberattack a private healthcare company Synnovis – which provides laboratory services to several large hospitals in London. This led to serious disruptions in the work of several medical institutions.

The hackers recently unexpectedly announced that their actions were a politically motivated protest. In an anonymous correspondence with the BBC, the Group apologized for the inconvenience caused, but did not admit their guilt. According to the cybercriminals, the attack was carried out in retaliation against the British government for its actions in an “unspecified” military conflict.
