Q&A: What do I do if scammers contact me after the HSE cyber attack? Gardaí warn fraudsters may contact public asking for money to secure hospital care about 5 hours ago Updated: about an hour ago What might happen to my confidential medical records from Monday? The short answer is: a lot. The cyber gang which broke into the Health Service Executive’s computer systems effectively took copies of everything it encrypted.

The Government has said it refuses to pay a ransom.
