Those who hacked the server of the country's largest government hospital AIIMS Delhi have demanded Rs 200 crore. Hackers have asked to make payments in cryptocurrency. News agency ANI has claimed this by quoting sources. However, the Delhi Police has denied that any kind of ransom was demanded. Let us inform you that the server of AIIMS was hacked on Wednesday i.e. 23 November by a ransomware attack. Due to this the services of the hospital are getting badly affected.
Patients coming to the OPD and IPD of the hospital are facing difficulty in getting treatment. Digital services like online appointment booking and teleconsultation were also affected due to the server outage. However, all these services are being run manually.
The complete cleaning of the network is likely to take another 5 days. After this, e-hospital services can be started. OPD, Emergency, In-Patient Laboratory, etc. services are being continued in manual mode.

In AIIMS, at 6.45 am, there is a complaint about not receiving patients' reports from the computer center of the Emergency Lab. After this, some similar calls start coming from the billing center and department as well. When the NIC team investigated, it was found that all the files are not opening on the main server.
When the team first tried to restore the files through the backup system, it was found that it too had been breached.
