Synnovis, a pathology partnership between Guy\u2019s and St Thomas\u2019NHS Foundation Trust and King\u2019s College Hospitals NHS Trust, and SYNLAB, is Europe\u2019s largest provider of medical testing and diagnostics. It was hit by a ransomware attack earlier this week, which had cascading service delivery impacts across multiple hospitals in London. This included cancellation of some procedures and operations, and the need to coordinate emergency blood transfusions by pen and paper since the online systems were down. The attack has not yet been resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pillr, originally from Novacoast, allows OpenText to offer customers enhanced threat hunting, monitoring, and response capabilities. OpenText said the acquisition will be combined with its existing Threat Detection offerings which are set up for deployment within organizations for network detection and response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n See press release<\/a> and OpenText’s Threat Detection and Response<\/a> products<\/p>\n\n\n\n WIRED has a teaser extract from Joseph Cox’s new book, Dark Wire, about how the FBI wiretapped the world. Amazon says the book provides “the inside story of the largest law-enforcement sting operation ever, in which the FBI made its own tech start-up to wiretap the world, shows how cunning both the authorities and drug traffickers have become, with privacy implications for everyone.” Joseph is an investigative journalist; the story borders on the unbelievable, but we guess that’s the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See WIRED<\/a> and Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Recent news: cyber attack on Synnovis affects London hospitals; OpenText purchased Pillr, an MDR platform; and a new book on the FBI wiretapping the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":384585,"featured_media":4719,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[712027168],"tags":[712027529],"class_list":["post-4610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-whats-going-down"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/synnovis2024.jpg?fit=1100%2C350&ssl=1","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pcHAk4-1cm","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/384585"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4610"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4610\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4654,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4610\/revisions\/4654"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ostermanresearch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}OpenText purchased Pillr, an MDR platform<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
