A rapid ransomware outbreak originating from Hipocrate Information System (HIS), a third-party healthcare platform by Romanian Soft Company, infected roughly 100 hospitals in Romania between Feb 10–12; attackers deployed Backmydata (a Phobos variant) and demanded 3.5 BTC (~€157,000). Most affected hospitals reportedly have recent backups (1–3 days), which may simplify recovery, though one had a 12-day-old backup.
