Since April 18, Synlab Italia, a major provider of medical diagnosis services, has been experiencing disruptions due to a cyber attack.
The company initially cited technical issues as the cause leading to “temporary interruption of access to computer and telephone systems and related services.” However, a concerning scenario has emerged a few hours later.
The company has released a statement informing customers of the ongoing attack and has “disabled” all company computer systems in Italy as a precautionary measure.
Patients are facing significant disruptions, with many social media users complaining about their inability to access urgently needed diagnostic test results.
The company’s statement announced the suspension of all activities at sampling points, medical centers, and laboratories in Italy until further notice.
