Yet another of the UK's National Health Service (NHS) systems appears to be under attack, with a ransomware gang threatening to leak stolen data it says is from one of England's top children's hospitals.

The attack on Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital and Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is apparently unconnected to an ongoing cyber "incident" at the Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Trust that is causing severe disruption at hospitals nearby.

The children's hospital also dispelled any possible links to the Wirral incident, ongoing since earlier this week, which was allegedly carried out by rival ransomware crooks over at RansomHub.

INC Ransom, the group that claimed responsibility for an attack on NHS Scotland in June this year, now claims to have stolen data from Liverpool's Alder Hey Children's Hospital and Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

The criminals published a limited sample of the allegedly stolen data, which includes the full names and addresses of supposed patients and donors, the amount of money said donors have given to the hospital, patients' medical reports (including unique hospital numbers and dates of birth), and financial documents.
