Romanian hospital ransomware crisis attributed to third-party breach

The Romanian national cybersecurity agency (DNSC) links a large ransomware outbreak to a compromise at a service provider operating the Hipocrate Information System (HIS), resulting in more than 100 hospitals being disconnected and 26 having data encrypted by a Backmydata/Phobos variant; authorities have issued containment, evidence-preservation, and restoration guidance while investigations continue.
