Update on Cyber Attack on HSE
The National Cyber Security Centre continues to provide support to the HSE in identifying the systems affected by the cyber attack and to bring all systems back online.
The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) became aware on Thursday of an attempted cyber attack on the Department of Health. The Department of Health has implemented its response plan including the suspension some functions of its IT system as a precautionary measure. This attempted attack remains under investigation, however there are indications that this was a ransomware attack similar to that which has affected the HSE.
Backup systems
“It’s a painstaking process, and they don’t know the extent until they go through it all… 72 hours is the general recommendation for how long it takes to go through everything,” Mr Smyth said.
The expectation is that backup systems were not impacted, which would make restoration easier.
It is not known whether patient data has been accessed or breached, Mr Smyth said.
The Garda is liaising with the HSE and the National Cyber Security Centre, as well as sharing information with Europol.
Garda sources said the force’s involvement would become a substantive criminal investigation when a profile of the malware, called Conti, and its likely origins had been compiled during the work to contain and reverse its spread. The Conti ransomware, or malware, first appeared in December 2019, and some security sources said it appeared to be the successor of Ryuk ransomware, which first surfaced around the middle of 2018.
