[A gang of cyber criminals causing
huge disruption to multiple
London hospitals has published sensitive
data stolen from an NHS blood testing company.

Overnight on Thursday,
Qilin shared almost 400GB of
the private information on their
darknet site.

The gang has been trying to extort
money from NHS provider Synnovis since
they hacked the firm on 3 June.

Qilin previously told the BBC
they would publish the data
unless they got paid.]

[Guardian carries an exclusive story that the
UK's National Crime Agency is
"considering striking back" against a Russian
ransomware gang who stole 300 million
NHS patient records.
The paper reports that the leak by the Qilin gang
included "highly sensitive" data,
like blood tests for HIV and cancer for patients
at the London hospitals affected.
A helpline has been set up to respond
to questions amid "widespread alarm"
over the hack, the Guardian says.]
