Irish ransomware attack to cost health service millions of euros for rebuilding IT systems
Hindustan TimesThe Irish health service expects to spend tens of millions of euros rebuilding its IT systems from a cyber attack which is set to cause significant disruption to diagnostic services into next week. Ireland's health service operator shut down all its IT systems on Friday to protect them from a significant ransomware attack the government said was carried out by an international cyber crime gang. While the Covid-19 vaccination programme was not directly affected and the Health Service Executive restored its test and tracing system within hours, hospital appointments have been cancelled across all outpatient services. This will be in the tens of millions in terms of impact on our systems, there's no doubt about it," HSE Chief Executive Paul Reid told national broadcaster RTE.
