You may have already spotted, but a ransomware attack has hit a French hospital crippling 6,000 computers; reminiscent of WannaCry, which hit the NHS in 2017. To prevent the infection spreading, the IT team opted to close down the systems and operate in ‘degraded mode’. It is predicted it will take much of this week to restore systems to standard functionality and the French National Agency for Information Systems Security is assisting the hospital IT team.
