The Health Ministry, Israel National Cyber Directorate, and Rambam Medical Center report that the attempt took place last night and that it was identified and blocked without any damage to the hospital’s computer systems or overall operations.
The incident is under investigation.
There have been multiple cyberattacks and ransomware attacks on Israeli medical centers in recent years, not all of them successfully thwarted.
