HSE secures orders requiring IT firms to hand over details of those who downloaded cyber attack information
File photo Image: Shutterstock/PabloLagarto File photo Image: Shutterstock/PabloLagarto THE HIGH COURT has ordered that the HSE be provided with details of people who uploaded and downloaded confidential material taken in the recent cyber attack onto a internet security’s firm’s web-service.
The judge noted that was no opposition from the defendants to the making of order, which is known as a ‘Norwich Pharmacal’ order. Through their lawyers Chronicle said they were neither opposing nor objecting to the making of the order sought by the HSE. Such orders counsel said should be made sparingly, but in this instance, there has been a “clear breach” of the HSE’s confidentiality and rights.
That material was downloaded 23 times by ‘VirusTotal’ subscribers before it was removed by Chronicle on 25 May. Ryan said the FT indicated it had obtained the stolen data from a confidential source which it refused to reveal.
