A hack on a London hospital has left hundreds of millions of health records exposed and forced doctors to reschedule life-altering cancer treatments.

These recent high-profile incidents show how cybercrime crews are increasingly turning to more sinister techniques to try to bend major companies to their will, abetted by new technology.
