Witting hospital in Bucharest, targeted by hackers with the PHOBOS ransomware application
The Witting Hospital in Bucharest was the target of a cyber attack with the PHOBOS ransomware application, which affected its servers, the Romanian Intelligence Service announced. The hackers demanded a ransom for their decryption, but the hospital did not comply with the request. However, the day-to-day operation of the hospital was not interrupted and continuity was ensured through the use of offline registers. This attack is similar to the one in the summer of 2019, when four other hospitals in Romania were affected by PHOBOS, amid the lack of antivirus solutions at the level of their infrastructure./opopescu
