November 29, 2022 23:43

The server of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi remained out of service for the seventh consecutive day on Tuesday even as official sources said e-hospital data has been restored on the servers.

The network is being sanitised before the services can be restored as all hospital services, including outpatient, in-patient, laboratories, continue to run on manual mode.

"The process is taking some time due to the volume of data and large number of servers/computers for the hospital services. Measures are being taken for cyber security," a statement issued by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences said.

A case of extortion and cyber terrorism was registered by the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations unit of the Delhi police on November 25.

Meanwhile, two system analysts were suspended by AIIMS on Monday after being served show-cause notices for alleged dereliction of duty.

Official sources said Internet services in the hospital are blocked as per the recommendations of the investigating agencies.

According to the official sources, the NIC e-Hospital at AIIMS is using 24 servers for various hospital modules and four of these servers were infected with ransomware --primary and secondary database servers of e-Hospital, and primary application and primary database servers of Laboratory Information System.

Later, ransomware was also found in the elastic search virtual server. 1.4. All infected servers were isolated, they said. -- PTI
