Over 11 months after a ransomware attack by the Qilin group on Synnovis, a U.K. pathology services provider, patients remain in the dark regarding what personal data has been exposed. Sensitive information related to sexually transmitted infections and cancer cases was leaked, disrupting care across multiple NHS hospitals. Synnovis has not disclosed how many patients are affected or provided specifics about the data compromised. The absence of immediate patient notifications has raised concerns about a potential lack of urgency in communicating these risks.
More than 11 months after a ransomware attack on Synnovis, patients remain uninformed about the data leaks involving sensitive health information, particularly around STIs and cancer.
The Qilin cybercrime group’s attack on Synnovis severely disrupted care at numerous NHS hospitals, yet no clear communication about affected patient data has occurred.
Synnovis has failed to provide adequate updates on the number of patients impacted or the specifics of the data leaked, raising concerns over patient notification.
The lack of a 'rolling' notification process means patients could have been informed sooner about their compromised data, highlighting a significant communication gap.
