I am going through Mastodon, and saw something from databreaches about 20 hospitals but Cybernews is saying 18.
These paragraphs are short, but tells a story.
Romanian authorities announced a “massive” ransomware cyberattack affecting the activities of at least 18 hospitals. The Health information system (HIS) was knocked offline.
The National Cyber Security Directorate (NCSD) in Romania was notified about a ransomware cyber attack on a service provider for multiple hospitals in the country.
“Currently, a team of NCSD specialists has been dispatched to the scene to investigate the cyber incident. Several hospitals are affected by the attack,” DNC said.
The Romanian Ministry of Health listed 18 medical facilities that were affected by the attack.
“As a result of the attack, the system is down, files and databases are encrypted,” the Ministry of Health said.
The cyberattack took place on the production servers running HIS IT systems during the night of February 11th to 12th, 2024.
It is unknown who is responsible for the attack.
For details: Massive ransomware attack hits 18 hospitals in Romania is the article.
Whether it is 18 or 20, it is a lot of fascilities. We’ll be in touch.
