Ransomware attack forces 100 Romanian hospitals to go offline

The Hipocrate Information System (HIS) used by hospitals is offline after its database was encrypted. While 25 hospitals have already been confirmed to have had their data encrypted by the attackers, 75 other healthcare facilities using HIS have also taken their systems offline as a precautionary measure while the incident is investigated.
