After yesterday’s worldwide cyber ransom attack which majorly affected Britain’s National Health Service, the Irish equivalent, the Health Service Executive is said to be working around the clock to ensure that any such similar attack will not have the same effect on our health system.
The NHS has actually advised patients not to go to hospitals unless “absolutely necessary” as doctors are writing reports by hand and transferring X-Ray photos by phone which is slowing their workload dramatically.
The HSE are said to have its tech experts currently working on all security of the Irish health system.
The worldwide cyber attack has hit more than 70 countries in total.
