A cyber attack at Hospital Simone Veil in Cannes disrupted operations, prompting a return to manual systems and delaying non-urgent medical services.
The hospital maintained emergency and essential services despite the attack, avoiding a complete shutdown of patient care.
No ransom demands have been made, nor has a data breach been confirmed as the hospital works with cybersecurity experts to investigate the incident.
This event is part of a larger trend of cyber attacks on French hospitals, signaling an escalating risk of cybercrime within the healthcare industry.
