Claiming responsibility for the IRCCS MultiMedica cyberattack, LockBit ransomware has listed the Italian hospital as a victim
Claiming responsibility for the IRCCS MultiMedica cyberattack, LockBit ransomware has listed the Italian hospital as a victim, tweeted cybersecurity analyst and researcher Dominic Alvieri.
Throughout the day on 26 April, all outpatient activities, emergency room operations and the collection of reports in the MultiMedica hospitals in Milan and Sesto San Giovanni were suspended after a cyber attack, reported Italian daily Il Giorno.
IRCCS MultiMedica is a research hospital based in Milan, Italy. It is one of the only 3 IRCCSs specifically focusing on cardiovascular disease in Italy.
The name of IRCCS or technically “Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico” indicates biomedical institutions of relevant national interest, which drive clinical assistance in strong relation to research activities.
It is not clear yet as to how the IRCCS MultiMedica cyberattack was conducted and the sum of ransom demanded. The website of the Italian healthcare provider was not functional at the time of writing.
The Cyber Express reached out to confirm the alleged IRCC MultiMedica cyberattack. However, we have not received a response so far.
