The death of one person has been linked to a ransomware attack on NHS blood services at London hospitals and GP surgeries last June.
King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust confirmed that one patient had “died unexpectedly” during the cyber attack on 3 June 2024, which disrupted more than 10,000 appointments.
