Multiple reports describe how dozens of Romanian hospitals temporarily stop operating some digital systems after a national cyberattack. According to the BBC, for about four days hospitals go offline while cyber-experts work to contain and defeat the hackers. During the disruption, hospitals switch from electronic record and administrative systems to pen-and-paper procedures to keep essential services running. The reporting characterizes the response as a practical continuity measure while technical teams attempt to restore operations and prevent further compromise. The outlets agree that the incident affects a large number of facilities—reported as around 100 hospitals—and that the decision to move to manual processes is driven by the need to maintain healthcare operations when digital systems are unreliable or inaccessible. The coverage also indicates that the hospitals’ offline period ends after experts make progress against the attack and work toward restoring normal functionality.
