“This claim was transmitted to the gendarmerie and the CHC-SV notified the National Agency for Information Systems Security (ANSSI) of the situation”, added management. She clarified that, in this type of case, “public establishments never pay ransom”.
Cybersecurity experts mobilized
If the hospital’s data were to be made public, the hospital said it would communicate to its patients and stakeholders “the nature of the stolen information”. For the moment, cybersecurity experts and the authorities are still involved in this matter. THE “work to put all of the software back into operation continues”indicated the hospital management.
Due to the paralysis of computer systems, non-urgent consultations have been postponed until a return to normal, as have “non-urgent scheduled activity not resulting in loss of opportunity”.
