"Hackers Threaten to Leak Plastic Surgery Pictures"

The ransomware gang known as REvil has stolen data from the Transform Hospital Group, which is the UK's leading specialist weight loss and cosmetic surgery group. REvil claims to be in possession of patients' before and after photos. The group also claims to have obtained more than 900 gigabytes of these patient photographs. They are threatening to publish the photos. A statement released by the Transform Hospital Group confirms that no payment card details belonging to patients were compromised in the breach of its IT systems. However, some personal data, in addition to the photographs, may have been accessed by the hackers. Travelex and the entertainment law firm Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks have also fallen victim to REvil, also known as Sodinokibi. This article continues to discuss the ransomware attack faced by the Transform Hospital Group, the group's threats to publish patients' photographs, and recent changes in tactics used by ransomware gangs to pressure victims into paying the demanded ransoms.
