Computer problems paralyze parts of the Bonn University Hospital. Currently only serious emergencies can be admitted.
However, there are no signs of a hacker attack so far. In 2020, an unexploded bomb from the Second World War caused part of the hospital to be evacuated, and intensive care patients were also affected. In the same year, an IT failure paralyzed the university clinic in Düsseldorf, and operations had to be postponed and ambulances diverted.. Experts have been warning for years that hospitals could become targets of cybercrime.
