Ireland’s government warned of a “real risk†that hackers will release sensitive medical information, as it vowed again not to pay a ransom.
Hackers have threatened to release private health records on Monday after infiltrating
the system, in the latest cyberattack by an international crime gang.
Spending minister Michael McGrath on Sunday repeated the government’s pledge not to make any payment to the hackers. While the gang handed over a decryption key in recent days without receiving a ransom, it continues to threaten to release data starting tomorrow.
