Cyber authority downplays attack on hospitals
Israel’s National Cyber Authority downplays the reported cyberattack earlier today on Israeli hospitals.
Only two hospitals were attacked, rather than the reported eight, the authority says in a statement. The other six hospitals saw a false alarm triggered by their cyber defense systems, the authority explains.
The number of attack sources is also less than initially believed, the statement adds, saying the attack is unconnected to the Petya ransomware attack that has hit European, Russian and American institutions in recent days.
