The HSE says it’s unable to reassure people that their sensitive medical information won’t be leaked online.

Many appointments have been cancelled today following the cyber-attack on the HSE.

Doctors have been asked only to request blood tests in urgent circumstances.

It’s been described as a zero-day attack meaning it hasn’t been seen before.

Chief Operations Officer with the HSE, Anne O’Connor, says she can’t reassure people their data won’t be published by the hackers.
