AIIMS Ransomware Attack Hackers' IP Address Can Be Found in One of India's Neighboring Countries
It is believed that the Ransomware entered through visiting a link sent on a website a few months ago, according to a senior-level officer overseeing the situation.
Agencies have discovered an IP address that originates from one of India's neighbouring nations in the strange instance of the cyberattack on AIIMS by unidentified hackers, yet officials claim it may be inaccurate as it might have been bounced through a VPN.
According to sources, there were a number of flaws that made it simple for hackers to access the AIIMS system. It is believed that the Ransomware entered through visiting a link sent on a website a few months ago, according to a senior-level officer overseeing the situation. Insiders' involvement hasn't been completely ruled out by investigators.
The Ransomware is believed to have entered the system a few months ago and collected the data. The hackers later used codes to encrypt both the primary interface and a backup server. All of the patient data that AIIMS gathers for a variety of reasons was stored on these servers. Another theory holds that one of the staff members clicked on a link sent on a gaming or similar website, allowing the hackers access.
