A number of regional Victorian hospitals and health services have been forced to shutdown their IT systems, including some electronic health records, after experiencing a ransomware attack on Monday.
In a statement, the state’s Department of Premier and Cabinet said the “cyber security incident” had blocked access to several major systems, including financial management, after being infiltrated.
