The plant filed a complaint with the National Commission for Informatics and Freedoms (CNIL) and reported a data infiltration.
After the Corbeil-Essonnes hospital, and that of Cahors, it is the turn of the Pierre Rouquès-Les Bluets hospital, in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, to be the victim of a cyber attack. The establishment was attacked on 9 October. He has since made it known what the attack was “circumscribed” and that a complaint has been submitted to the CNIL. But “The reconstruction of an IT framework is still in progress” the hospital said.
Targeted motherhood
The institution explains it “access to external networks was interrupted to prevent the spread of malware”, And “The necessary measures have been adopted to guarantee the continuity and safety of care”. But for more than a week, the hospital had to prioritize critical applications to maintain continuity of service. A maternity ward operated in degraded mode and had to return «Paper support». Lhis patient data was also stolen. Consequently, the institution invites us to exercise supervision in this regard “attempted fraud or phishing”.
If in this case the worst has been avoided, this is not always the case … In the throes of ransomware, the Corbeil-Essonnes hospital, if it has not paid the ransom, will have to pay the same 7 million euros, in particular for rebuild his computer system. Due to a lack of resources, healthcare facilities have a reputation for being poorly equipped in terms of IT systems. Vulnerable, they are an easy target for hackers.
