People will begin to receive letters this week and the process will take around ten months.
THE CHILD AND family agency Tusla is to begin contacting around 20,000 people whose data was compromised during the 2021 cyber-attack on the HSE.
Duggan explained that the HSE provided IT services to Tusla, which meant that staff and members of the public who engaged with Tusla were impacted by the data breach. She told RTÉ that this is a “level of reassurance that is really important for people to hear” but acknowledged that “there is going to be anxiety for people around this”.
But in relation to members of the public, Duggan said that data is “anything from referral letters to reports to email correspondence.” Duggan explained that people who receive notification letters will be given two options for how to proceed.
