Ireland’s Department of Health said it also faced a cyber attack as the country’s health service grapples with a third day of disruption after hackers prompted the shutdown of its computer systems.
The Department of Health confirmed Sunday that it was also subjected Thursday to a ransomware attack, similar to the one carried out against the Health Service Executive, which runs the country’s national health system.
