Helse Sør-Øst RHF

The healthcare organisation responsible for overseeing hospitals in the southeast of Norway, called Health South-East RHF, has announced that there was a security breach that exposed private information belonging to over 50% of the population.

HelseCERT, the national healthcare security centre, released a statement about the event after discovering unusual behaviour against local computer systems.

The security vulnerability, according to HelseCert, was caused by an attack carried out by skilled and knowledgeable hackers.

Authorities and experts surmise that the Health South-East RHF data breach may have been the consequence of a foreign state's cyber espionage effort, which aimed to obtain information about politicians, government employees, and members of the armed forces.
