German authorities have detained a 28-year-old Russian man, named by German press as Vladimir K, who was arrested in Japan in May after being extradited on hacking charges. The BBC has confirmed German investigators are now examining his alleged role in the 2024 Synnovis cyber attack, which disrupted pathology services at London hospitals and was linked to a patient's death. He is accused of being a core member of the Qilin cyber-crime gang, alleged to have hacked over 4,000 organisations and extorted more than $140m.
