HSE HIT BY NEW CYBER ATTACK

THE HSE has been hit by another cyber attack which has been described as "criminal in nature and international in scale".

The organisation was crippled two years ago by a massive assault that shut down its systems and cost more than €50million to repair.

It is understood the infamous Clop hackers are behind the latest cyber incident.

The Russian cybercrime gang is known for extorting industrial organisations with ransomware attacks.

They have been behind similar hacks on computer systems of Aer Lingus and the BBC.

Those organisations have been issued with an ultimatum of June 14.
