The Berlin Charité has become the target of a hacker attack. Employee data was stolen. Patients who made an appointment online are also affected.
The Charité University Hospital in Berlin has fallen victim to a hacker attack. As the company announced on Friday, data was also accessed during the unauthorized intrusion into the servers. According to the information, this involves personal contact details of employees and patients who have made an appointment online, for example.
As the Charité further explains, all necessary measures have now been taken to limit the damage. All those affected should be informed as quickly as possible. Health care was not affected by the incident.
According to the information, the cyber attack is not related to the PHP security gap, because of which the clinic had already taken its website offline as a precautionary measure last week.
