Irish HSE Targeted by Conti Ransomware Group May 19, 2021 12:25 GMT
· Comment
Conti ransomware group is responsible for Ireland s Health Service Executive (HSE) ransomware attack.
HSE, a $25 billion public health system, shut down its IT systems and transitioned to a paper-based system to protect the program from further damage.
Even though life-saving equipment and COVID-19 vaccine services remained operational, many healthcare practices across Ireland were forced to cancel low-priority appointments.
Over the course of two weeks, the Conti ransomware gang claims to have stolen 700 GB of confidential data from the HSE. Patient records, contracts, financial statements, and payroll information are among the stolen data.

After Health Service Executive, Ireland’s state health services provider, shut down all its IT systems serving hospitals in the wake of a ransomware attack early Friday, some security experts praised its decisive action and refusal to pay a ransom.
When unusual activity was spotted on IT networks at a Dublin maternity hospital and a ransomware virus was found, HSE shut down all its IT systems serving healthcare facilities throughout Ireland to prevent the spread of the malware, forcing clinicians to use paper-based processes, Irish state broadcaster RTE reports.
Paul Reid, CEO of Health Service Executive, said the shutdown followed a “significant ransomware attack” that caused widespread disruption to the HSE’s systems, RTE reports.
