Overview
A cyberattack on NHS pathology provider Synnovis left patients at serious risk after 3,000 consultations or operations were cancelled because of the hack. Those affected included cancer patients in urgent need of medical care. As well as the cancelled operations, affected patients were left at risk of fraud, scams and ID theft.
Multiple London hospitals were affected by the breach and tens of thousands of NHS patients had their sensitive data published online by hackers. One cyber security expert said the violation was “one of the most significant and harmful cyber attacks ever in the UK.”
We are monitoring the situation closely. Register your interest and we’ll keep you updated if one of our regulated UK partner law firms is able to take this claim forward.

On 3 June 2024, Synnovis experienced a ransomware cyber-attack. The hack affected all Synnovis IT systems, resulting in interruptions to many of its pathology services. Russian criminal group Qilin claims to be behind the ransomware attack. It published 400GB of stolen data online after a £40 million ransom demand allegedly went unpaid.
A sample of the stolen data includes patient names, dates of birth, NHS numbers and descriptions of blood tests. The data may also include test results.
The NHS should be in touch to notify affected patients. If you have not received this notification, it is unlikely you are affected.
A group action claim allows people affected by the same issue to take action together. This strength in numbers helps stand up to big organisations. Join the Claim helps connect people with law firms so these actions have real impact.
