The cyber attack has cost the HSE approximately €100 million, with half of the cost being incurred in 2021, while the remaining half will be a recurring fee in 2022. The hackers remained within the HSE IT system for eight weeks, gaining additional levels of access to the system and individual user accounts, before detonating the attack on 14 May.
