Customers affected after Cyberattack at Swedish IT Company
INCIDENT
IT provider Advania was hit by a cyber attack on Tuesday attack.
Around 60 of the company's customers are affected, of which between 10 and 15 are healthcare centres. "We cannot read any medical records or take any samples and can only write paper prescriptions. We cannot receive any patients," says Per Svensson, director of operations at Herkules care center in Borås, to Borås Tidning. Some health centers have closed completely on Wednesday, while others receive patients on drop-in and write with paper and pencil because they do not have access to the medical record system.
There is no indication that ransomware has been introduced into the system. There is currently no forecast for when the problem may be fixed.
