Over a hundred Romanian hospitals affected by ransomware attack

A ransomware attack affected over 100 healthcare facilities in Romania, forcing some to go offline and revert to manual operations. The attackers demanded a ransom of over £130,000 to unlock encrypted files. At least 25 hospitals were affected, disrupting services. Romanian authorities mitigated the attack’s impact by restoring data from recent backups, and the incident is under investigation. This attack is one of the largest disruptions to a European healthcare system since a similar incident in Ireland in 2021.
