Government has established a 'war room' in response to cyber attacks, Coveney says

Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence Simon Coveney said no one should seek to downplay the potential impact of this week's attacks
The Government has established a “war room” in response to the “very serious” cyber attacks on the HSE and the Department of Health, Minister Simon Coveney has said.
The HSE was hit on Friday by a ransomware attack, with its systems remaining "significantly compromised" two days later, according to HSE chief operations officer Anne O'Connor.
