The HSE and the health department were hit by a Conti ransomware cyberattack last Thursday and Friday, which has been described as possibly the most significant cybercrime attack on the Irish State. As we know the attackers managed to take around 700GB of data and encrypt it. So what might have happened and how do we deal with ransomware cyberattacks? Ronan talks to Stephen Bowes BSI Global Practice Director about this and more.
Stephen talks to Ronan about the Conti ransomware cyberattack, what might have happened, how to prepare for a ransomware attack and what to do if you get hit by a ransomware attack.
