Irish Gardai clamp down on cyber gang that attacked HSE

The operation led by Garda is believed to have prevented more than 750 ransomware hacks, Irish Times reports

Gardaí have seized cyber infrastructure used by the cyber gang involved in the HSE cyber attack earlier this year. The operation is believed to have prevented more than 750 ransomware attacks, the Irish Times has reported.

The Garda-led operation targeted websites, domain names and servers used in the attacks, has been led by An Garda Síochána but also involved other international law enforcement agencies, including Interpol and Europol.

Garda Headquarters, in Phoenix Park, Dublin, on Sunday released information about the operation, saying it has been run by the Garda National Cyber Crime Bureau (GNCCB) and that it would also assist victims against whom attacks were already partially under way.
