'Professional' hack on Norwegian health authority compromises data of three million patients
Local security centre blames breach on 'advanced' hackers


HACKERS HAVE BREACHED the systems of Norway's Health South East RHF, with nearly three million patients' data potentially compromised as a result.

Health South-East is responsible for the counties of Østfold, Akershus, Oslo, Hedmark, Oppland, Buskerud, Vestfold, Telemark, Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder.

The breach was announced on Monday by the authority after it had been notified by HelseCERT, the Norwegian healthcare sector's national information security centre, that there had been abnormal activity against computer systems in the region.

HelseCert said that data theft had taken place and that the hackers were 'advanced' and ‘professional'.

"We are in a phase where we try to get an overview. It's far too early to say how big the attack is. We are working to acquire knowledge of all aspects, " Kjetil Nilsen, director of NorCERT, the National Security Authority (NSM), which is also helping with the investigation, told Norwegian publication VG.

"Everything indicates that it is an advanced player who has the tools and ability to perform such an attack. It can be advanced criminals. There is a wide range of possibilities," he added.

Meanwhile the CEO of Health South East RHF, Cathrine M. Lofthus said that the situation was "very serious" and that measures had been taken to limit the damage caused by the hack.

She said that the potential data theft has not had any impact on patient care or patient safety, as yet, and added that staff within the health sector and government were working to resolve the situation.

The police have been notified, but as yet there are more questions than answers.

Nilsen said that the data could have been hacked to use for cyber espionage, or perhaps used by someone who provides services based on healthcare information.

However, as the health records would also include people who work in government, secret services, military and intelligence staff, politicians and other public individuals, there are some that believe the data could be used for other purposes.

Nyvoll Nygaard, an adviser with the Norwegian Police Security Service, said that it's possible that someone working for a foreign state intended to collect information that may harm fundamental national interests relating to the area's infrastructure.

I sailed with a Bosun with just one ball. He was quite the man. Using the missing one as a pick-up line in bars - he also used the boat's radar to kill sperm cells - or so he claimed sitting up there for an hour or so before landing would do.

More balls than most people I know.

"Using the missing one as a pick-up line in bars"

Um.

"Ever wondered what a Cyclops unicorn looks like?"

Weird topic for a pick-up line.

Its mostly about him expressing his sexual security if you want to get all freudian about it.

He might for example say about me; look at jergul - two balls but still so full of shit. I have a spare sack, but could never bag that amount.

Crap like that. Women loved it.
