Netwalker Goes After College of Nurses' Data in Ontario

The cybercrime Netwalker team is guilty of extracting information from the Ontario Nursing College on ransomware attacks.

A screenshot of information allegedly removed by the school has been posted on the Netwalker site, where the name of the school has been added to the number of injured people in the group.

In a heated statement released yesterday, the school saw that it was affected by network security but did not indicate what had happened.

The proclamation reads: "The College of the Nurses of Ontario (CNO) is currently pursuing normal operations following a network security incident. With the never-ending release of this episode on September 8, CNO found a way to prevent this incident and took over network protection. in a far-reaching legal examination. "

As a result of this episode, the various administrations provided by the CNO are not easily accessible, including the public Register Find a Nurse, the Nursing Rehabilitation Center and the entrance gate.

The CNO said inspectors were still trying to determine whether any close-up home data had been created as a result of the incident.

As Ontario's supervisory body, the CNO may have individual details of all 121,488 state-registered medical care providers, 59,967 registered qualified health care providers, and 3,864 staff specialists.

 

 The details of the CNO Netwalker claims to have taken it clearly to the school's human resources department.

Ontario Nurses Association (ONA) president Vicki McKenna has revealed to CBC News of her mistake that registered registered nurses have never been formally educated about this.

"I'm shocked that I didn't know as a person from the school that this happened," McKenna said.

Michael Hurley, local VP of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, said medical caregivers could be put at significant risk if their location details are taken.

"I'm worried about who's going to talk to confidential information about these medical caregivers, some of whom have limited access to requests from co-workers, or who have participants who have passed the intent to be cruel," Hurley said.

In July, the FBI issued a flamboyant warning that Netwalker ransomware attacks were on the rise, with a focus on extraordinary American social services, training materials, private businesses and governments.
