French Health Ministry authorities were forced to shut down operations and transfer critically ill patients following a weekend cyberattack on a hospital outside Paris.
Minister Francois Braun told France 24 that the hospital, which is located in Versailles, had been fending off regular Ransomware-Angriffe, along with many others in the area — including area hospital Corbeil-Essonnes, which was breached and unable to return to normal operations for weeks after refusing to pay a $10 million ransom.
The region’s health agency added that while hospital operations are halted, it is still doing everything possible to accept emergency walk-in patients until systems are recovered.
