Total Long-Term Economic Cost Of Cyber Attack On HSE Not Yet Known
The head of the HSE says the immediate short-term cost is well over €100 million
Three quarters of its IT servers have now been decrypted and 70 per cent of devices are back in use.
HSE CEO Paul Reid was asked at the Oireachtas Health Committee today what the final bill for the hack might be:
"I think the immediate costs for us are certainly well over 100 million, and that includes capital and revenue costs. That is just to get us through this. The other costs that we don't have costs just now are some of the clinical costs, that we will need to in terms of service and service recovery, a lot of the local IT costs that will have to be put in place as part of this, for better and local IT security."
