New Delhi: The attack on the computer system of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi originated from China, government sources today said, assuring that the data — details of lakhs of patients at the premier hospital — has now been retrieved. "The server attack was by the Chinese; the probe foundthat it originated from China," a top source told NDTV. "Of the 100 servers — 40 physical and 60 virtual — five physical servers were infiltrated by the hackers.The damage could have been far worse but is now contained.Data in the five servers has been successfully retrieved," a source further said. The system glitched first on November 23, and a case of extortion and cyber terrorism was registered by the Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit of the Delhi Police two days later. Police have, however, denied reports that hackers asked forRs 200 crore in cryptocurrency as ransom to restore the system. From the system of appointments to the billing and sharing of reports with patients and between departments, almost all services are online at the institute, thus were affected. Additional staff were deployed as it switched to manual mode, going totally offline during the probe even though not all servers were hit. Patient data theft is at the nub of the attack. Every year, around 38 lakh patients, including top political leaders, bureaucrats and judges, get treated at AIIMS.Top intelligence and anti-terror agencies, besides IT emergency teams, worked t...

Meanwhile, two systems analysts are learnt to have been suspended on Monday for not responding to phone calls and not attending an emergency meeting on November 23, when the cyber attack took place. The duo were issued showcause notices on November 24, and told to file their written replies the same evening. The showcause notice issued to one of the analysts, who is learnt to have been on leave at the time, mentioned that the official was contacted on phone, but did not respond. The notice, seen by Sources said the second showcause notice was similar in content. While hospital services have been operating in manual mode since the cyber attack, a team of experts from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-in) and National Informatics Centre (NIC) are working on restoring digital services. Significantly, sources said that besides the servers, the AIIMS network and its computers are “also vulnerable”. Therefore, following the advice of CERT-in, AIIMS internet and AIIMS intranet have been discontinued and “their vulnerabilities are being addressed”, said sources. “AIIMS has about 10,000 computers and not all of them have updated anti-virus applications. This is also being addressed,” sources said. The restoration of servers is taking longer than expected as it is a highly technical job that involves three broad steps, said sources. First, the five infected servers have to be verified. Second, they will then have to be restored. Third, the data backed up on the five ...
