Hospitals in Romania, "vulnerable to cyber attacks"

Romanian hospitals are vulnerable to cyber attacks, and their level of computer security is low, the Romanian Intelligence Service points out, after a hospital in Bucharest was the target of a ransomware attack last week.

According to RIS, such attacks, when hackers demand the redemption of encrypted data, although of medium or low complexity, can generate major dysfunctions in the work of health institutions; therefore, it is necessary to adopt a centralized decision requiring the implementation of minimum cyber security measures at the level of these institutions.
