Ransomware attack forces 18 Romanian hospitals to go offline

[VincaSec]

At least 18 hospitals in Romania were knocked offline after a ransomware attack took down their healthcare management system.

The Hipocrate Information System (HIS) used by hospitals to manage medical activity and patient data was targeted over the weekend and is now offline after its database was encrypted.

"During the night of 11-12 February 2024, a massive ransomware cyber-attack targeted the production servers running the HIS information system. As a result of the attack, the system is down, files and databases are encrypted," the Romanian Ministry of Health said.

Romania's ongoing hospital ransomware attack is getting worse. Cyber security centre said last night that 21 hospitals have had computers encrypted. A chidren's hospital was the first to get hit but now it's spread. Computers in 79 other medical facilities have been unplugged

The information and transparency from the Romanian cyber security centre is incredible: "Most of the affected hospitals have backups of data with data saved relatively recently (1-2-3 days ago) except for one, whose data was saved 12 days ago."

Romania's cyber security centre has told the public how much money the hackers want (3.5BTC), which hackers they are (Phobos) and is updating a running total of affected hospitals. The hack was discovered yesterday. Unprecedented transparency - other cyber auths could take note.
