5 servers of AIIMS were affected, about 1.3 TB of data encrypted in cyberattack: MoS IT

Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday said as per the analysis of cyber security watchdog CERT-In and other stakeholders, five servers of AIIMS were affected by a recent cyberattack that led to the encryption of approximately 1.3 terabytes of data.

The minister of state for electronics and IT, in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha, said the information and computer systems at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) were managed by the institute itself.

Upon being informed about the cyber security incident by AIIMS, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) evaluated the case.

The minister said as per preliminary analysis, servers were compromised in the information technology network of AIIMS by unknown threat actors due to improper network segmentation, which caused operational disruption because of non-functionality of critical applications.

“CERT-In and other stakeholder entities have advised necessary remedial measures. Based on current analysis by concerned stakeholders, 5 servers of AIIMS were affected and approximately 1.3 Tera Bytes of data was encrypted,” Chandrasekhar said.

The All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Delhi allegedly faced a cyber attack on November 23, paralyzing its servers. A case of extortion and cyber terrorism was registered by the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit of the Delhi Police on November 25.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
