HSE hack Q&A: How can stolen data be used to extort money?


What can criminals do with the Health Service Executive data now in the hands of a cyber gang? The cyber gang that broke into the HSE’s systems effectively took copies of everything it encrypted. The data covers personal patient information, internal information about the HSE and its suppliers. Everything about patient data is private, including treatment histories. But that will not stop the cyber gang publishing the files on the darknet, from which they cannot be traced.
