Johanna Groothuizen was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer in late 2023 .
She was told she would have a skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction surgery was scrapped at the last minute .
The 36-year-old was given less than 24 hours by doctors to either accept a simple mastectomy or delay a life-changing procedure until Synnovis 's systems were back online.
Cyberattack on UK pathology service raises questions about resilience of UK 's public sector infrastructure.
UK 's National Cyber Security Strategy ( 2022-2030 ) was to have critical functions, which include the delivery of essential public services, significantly hardened to cyberattacks by 2025 .
The attack on Synnovis is the latest reminder of what happens when mission-critical organizations are breached.
The total number of postponements for the entire month since the attack took hold ( June 3-30 ) stand at 4,913 for acute outpatient appointments and 1,391 for elective procedures.
Pathpathology services are now operating at 54 percent of their pre-ransomware attack capacity.
