Not a hospital.

, an attack is disrupting the Center Hospitalier Sud Francilien in France. The CHSF, which is about 28km south of Paris, is currently having to turn patients away and postpone surgeries due to the ransomware.

The 1,000-bed hospital was attacked on Sunday and still hasn't regained control of its systems. This not only affects things like the hospital's business software but also patient admissions and storage, including that of medical imaging. Patients are still being assessed at the CHSF, but many require transfers to other medical centres to get the treatment they require.

"This attack on the computer network makes the hospital's business software, the storage systems , and the information system relating to patient admissions inaccessible for the time being," a translation from the CHSF announcement explains.
