Irish Ransomware attack to cost Millions of Euros
By MYBRANDBOOK
Ireland's health service operator shut down all its IT systems to protect them from a significant ransomware attack the government said was carried out by an international cyber-crime gang.
The 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.
While the Covid-19 vaccination programme was not directly affected and the Health Service Executive (HSE) restored its test and tracing system within hours, hospital appointments have been cancelled across all outpatient services.
"What we have to do here is a very significant rebuild. This will be in the tens of millions in terms of impact on our systems, there's no doubt about it. Even as we get those systems back up there is a period of time where it is impossible to say what will stay stable so we are in for a period well beyond this week of monitoring the impact of this", HSE Chief Executive Paul Reid said.
