A cyberattack on Kuwait Health Ministry impacted hospitals in the country

Posted on September 29, 2024 by Dissent

Pierluigi Paganini reports:

Kuwait’s Health Ministry was the victim of a cyberattack that took systems at several of the country’s hospitals offline. The cyber attack also impacted the Ministry of Health website, which is still offline, and Kuwait’s Sahel healthcare app.

“Kuwaiti Health Ministry announced on Wednesday that many essential features are back and running after a cyberattack that affected systems in some hospitals and the Sahel app. In a press statement, the Ministry said that systems have been restored to their backups including systems at Kuwait Cancer Control Center and administrative systems, like the health insurance and expatriate check-up systems.” reported the website Kuna.net. “After a technical malfunction that affected their systems, their technical teams have tracked the causes and reveled attempts of a breach into their systems, added the Ministry.”
