The Hospital Simone Veil in Cannes has announced that it was targeted by a cyberattack on Tuesday morning, severely impacting its operations and forcing staff to go back to pen and paper.
The Hospital announced that it was forced to take all computers offline earlier this week due to a cyberattack, leaving only telephone systems available for communication.
"The cyberattack is currently being analyzed with the help of expert partners," reads the announcement.
"CHC-SV had never before been the victim of a cyberattack of this kind," commented the hospital administration in the announcement, adding that cyber-exercises held in recent months played a crucial role in managing to contain the damage and mitigating the impact of the incident.
The Hospital noted that this depends on the progress of the technical investigations, which could take a long time.
