report that while the Universitätsklinikum Düsseldorf IT systems were paralyzed it was unable to accept emergency patients, meaning a woman brought in on Friday night and in need of urgent admission died after she had to be taken to a hospital in neighboring Wuppertal, 20 miles away.
A ransomware attack is a kind of cyberattack where the attackers steal an organization's data or cripple its IT systems, demanding a ransom in return for restoring the data or systems. Per local reports, the attacker seems to have targeted the hospital by mistake. The ransom note accompanying the attack was addressed to the Heinrich Heine University, to which the hospital is attached.
The police reportedly managed to make contact with the hacker and inform them they had hit the hospital, not the university. The hacker then withdrew the attack and provided a key to decrypt the data they had stolen.reported the state prosecutor is conducting an investigation into the cause of death to determine whether a charge of negligent manslaughter will be brought.
Well that’s homicide I hope whoever did it gets caught. There should be a code of honor among hackers like no hospitals, but I guess that’s asking too much
