Unleash the Hounds on Ransomware Attackers

There is an urgent call for O-type blood donations due to a ransomware attack affecting healthcare labs' ability to process blood types. The attack was attributed to a group called Killin, which seems to have been taken down, possibly by UK law enforcement. Attacking healthcare with ransomware is condemnable as it puts lives at risk.

It's an urgent call out for O -type blood donations following the attacks that have hit the healthcare sector there. Alexander Martin has a report on that from the record. This is just depressing. This attack has slowed down labs ability to type blood and whatever, so they need that generic blood as much of it as possible. This is just a terrific example of real world horrible impact on healthcare from a ransomware attack.

And you've got to suspect that that is, you know, some sort of UK law enforcement or intelligence operation. I

of this.
