Mayanei Hayeshua Medical Center in Bnei Brak says it is bracing for the possible release of sensitive patient information, two days after it was targeted in a ransomware attack that shut down its administrative computer systems.
“At this stage, no data has been publically released and the hospital is preparing for such a scenario,” the hospital says. “As soon as we finish our investigation, the hospital will update patients with transparency and sensitivity.”
The hospital adds that most of its computer systems are now back online.
According to the hospital, no harm was caused to patients or medical equipment during the hack, and the hospital continued providing care.
It was still not clear who was behind the attack.
