The same morally bankrupt #ransomware gang that hit #Synnovis and significantly impacted #NHS patients has now hit #Promises2Kids.

Promises2Kids is a non-profit "originally founded 40 years ago as the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation of San Diego County. Since 1981, Promises2Kids has responded to the needs of foster children and provided support to children removed from their home due to abuse and neglect."

Interesting that NHS is being blamed for the Russian hack of patient data when it was Synnovis, a private company, that was hacked.
