“Personal data of people published online by e – pirates”.
“Sonraí pearsanta daoine foilsithe ar líne ag ríomhfhoghlaithe”.
Communications Minister Éamon Ryan said it was bad news that, if true, the personal data of people stolen from computer systems in this country have now been published online by thieves.
Dúirt an tAire Cumarsáide Éamon Ryan go mb’olc an scéal é, más fíor, go bhfuil sonraí pearsanta daoine a goideadh ó ríomhchórais sa tír seo, go bhfuil siad foilsithe ar líne anois ag lucht gadaíochta.
The Financial Times newspaper reported today that correspondence with patients, details of equipment purchases and minutes of meetings are among the material published online by the criminal gang that carried out a cyber-attack on Health Service Executive and Department of Health computer systems last week. .
Tuairiscíodh ar nuachtán an Financial Times inniu go bhfuil comhfhreagras le hothair, sonraí faoi threalamh a cheannach agus miontuairiscí cruinnithe i measc an ábhair atá foilsithe ar líne ag an mbuíon coirpeach a rinne cibirionsaí ar ríomhchórais Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte agus na Roinne Sláinte an tseachtain seo caite.

Éamon Ryan has confirmed that the Government is not talking to anyone about paying ransom but that various agencies are trying to fix the looted computer systems.
Dhearbhaigh Éamon Ryan nach bhfuil an Rialtas ag labhairt le haon dream faoi airgead fuascailte a íoc ach go bhfuil gníomhaireachtaí éagsúla ar a mbionda ag iarraidh na ríomhchórais a creachadh a chur ina gceart arís.
Also, he said, every effort is being made to ensure that such a disaster does not happen again.
Chomh maith leis sin, a dúirt sé, tá gach dícheall á dhéanamh le cinntiú nach dtarlóidh tubaiste mar é arís.
The health system has a budget of € 203 million a year for information technology and Éamon Ryan acknowledged that more investment was needed, particularly to protect computer systems from cyber-attacks.
Tá buiséad €203 milliún sa bhliain ag an gcóras sláinte le haghaidh cúrsaí teicneolaíochta faisnéise agus ghlac Éamon Ryan leis go raibh tuilleadh infheistíochta ag teastáil, go háirithe le ríomhchórais a chosaint ar chibirionsaithe.
