Ransomware hits dozens of Romanian hospitals

Over 100 facilities have been affected with some doctors resorting to pen and paper.

As most of the targeted hospitals have recent backups of data from the affected servers, it is expected that the facilities should be able to bounce back fairly rapidly.
