A Cork hospital has secured injunctions from the High Court restraining any sharing, processing, selling or publishing of data believed stolen from its computer systems in a cyber attack.
The orders were made in favour of the Mercy Hospital Cork against "persons unknown" responsible for accessing the hospital's IT system, that is separate from systems operated by the HSE, and planting a ransomware note on it as discovered by the hospital on 14 May.
The orders, which are similar to those obtained by the HSE last week, also apply to any persons with knowledge of them. The hospital has brought its own proceedings after ransom messages were found on its own private IT systems, including its radiology and emergency department's systems.
