Cyber attack on AIIMS originated from China, say Government sources, data now secured

The ransomware attack on the computer network that crippled Delhi’s AIIMS originated from China and may have been carried out by Chinese hackers, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said. Data of lakhs of patients from the 5 physical servers that were infiltrated by the hackers were also recovered. The minister had said last week that the ransomware attack seemed to be a part of much more coordinated conspiracy.
