Hospitals told to print out patients' medical records


ISRAEL ON HEIGHTENED ALERT AFTER HOSPITAL HIT WITH RANSOMWARE ATTACK


HILLEL YAFFE RESORTS TO LOGGING ADMISSIONS WITH PEN AND PAPER WHILE BEING UNABLE
TO CONDUCT NON-URGENT PROCEDURES; OFFICIALS BELIEVE CYBERATTACK WAS NOT BACKED
BY AN ENEMY STATE

After a ransomware cyberattack targeted the Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in
Hadera Wednesday, Israel’s National Cyber Directorate said there were heightened
fears of other hospitals being targeted.

The directorate also issued a general warning to Israeli businesses to be aware
of potential cyberattacks, as the country faces an uptick in hacking attempts.

Separately, the Health Ministry, in a letter to hospitals around the country,
urged them to print out patients’ medical files amid the fear of more
cyberattacks.



On Wednesday morning, Hillel Yaffe said it had received no advance warning of
the attack on its computer systems. Urgent medical services at the hospital were
continuing as usual as it switched to alternate systems.

Mickey Dudkiewicz, the director of the hospital, told Channel 12 news that the
hackers didn’t ask for a specific sum of money to return the systems to
operation.

With computer systems down, hospital staff resorted to logging admissions with
pen and paper. Heavy delays in treatment were also caused due to doctors having
to constantly walk physically between departments in order to review test
results.

statement following a randsomware cyberattack, October 13, 2021. (Hillel Yaffe

With patients being turned away, the Laniado Hospital in Netanya said it was
coordinating with the Magen David Adom ambulance service and was ready to
receive those who needed treatment that was not available at Hillel Yaffe due to
the attack.

Hillel Yaffe serves hundreds of thousands of people.

The hack was still affecting systems in the evening hours of Wednesday.

Health Ministry officials told Kan news that the hackers were likely only
motivated by financial gain, and there was no indication of it being a
“security-related” attack by an enemy state or otherwise.

Numerous suspected Iranian cyberattacks on Israel were reported in recent years,
including one that targeted its water infrastructure in 2020. Israel and Iran
have been engaged in a years-long shadow war, with Israel allegedly directing
most of its efforts — including multiple suspected cyberattacks — at sabotaging
the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

Channel 12 reported that officials fear Iranian hackers could in the future
target hospitals in a way that would cause harm to patients.

Last month, Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point reported that Israeli
institutions are targeted with about twice as many cyberattacks as the average
in other countries around the world, including the country’s health sector,
which experiences an average of 1,443 attacks a week.

The most targeted sectors around the world, including Israel, are education and
research, followed by government and security organizations, and then health
institutions, Check Point said.

The report found that, on average, one in every 60 Israeli organizations or
firms is targeted every week with ransomware attacks, an increase of 30 percent
over the rate in 2020.
