Early last Friday, the HSE announced it had temporarily shut down its IT system after it was targeted in a "significant ransomware attack".
Described as possibly the most significant cybercrime attack on the Irish State by Minister of State for eGovernment Ossian Smyth, it has caused major disruptions to health services across the country.
A further attempted cyber attack was also carried out on the
Department of Health last week, following the ransomware attack on the HSE.
The Department of Health confirmed that The National Cyber Security Centre, along with the Gardaí and the Defence Forces, is currently investigating the attacks.
Russian hackers known as Wizard Spider have since claimed responsibility for the most serious ever cyber attack on Ireland's critical infrastructure, and are reportedly seeking a ransom of up to €20 million in cryptocurrency.
The cyber group is supposedly not motivated by terrorism or espionage and is just seeking money.
