Newfoundland and Labrador’s minister of health confirmed Wednesday the IT problems causing disruptions to the province’s health-care system are a result of a cyberattack.
“At this stage of our investigation, we can confirm we’ve been the victim of a cyberattack that has impacted our health-care systems,” John Haggie said during a news conference. “We have engaged cyber security experts to help us investigate and resolve and we’ve informed the appropriate authorities.”
“Those involved in the attack may actually be monitoring what we are saying in media and on the floor of the house. It is very important that we don’t do or say anything that compromised the efforts to investigate and resolve this matter,” said Haggie.
