The University Hospital D..sseldorf in Germany suffered a ransomware attack on September 10th. Ransom notes left on the hospital’s encrypted servers were incorrectly addressed to Heinrich Heine University, rather than the hospital itself. A person in a life-threatening condition passed away after being forced to go to a more distant hospital due to the attack. The hospital has slowly been restoring systems, and investigations concluded that data was likely not stolen. Some ransomware operators state they won’t target hospitals, and if one was encrypted by mistake, they would provide a decryption key.
