The Ministry of Health said, in a statement on Saturday (11), that the expectation is that the hacked systems from the folder’s website will be available again to the population next week.
“The Ministry of Health informs that it is acting with maximum agility to reestablish the systems that were temporarily compromised by the attack caused in the early hours of this Friday (10). Several systems have already been re-established and the expectation is that the other systems will be available to the population next week. The folder created a page with alternatives for the temporary issuance of proof of vaccination Covid-19”, says the note.
In the early hours of Friday (10), the folder’s website was the target of a hacker attack.
The Federal Police stated that the invaders did not have access to confidential data.
A CNN found that the agents were able to identify and block the account that accessed the folder’s portal.
According to investigators, in the initial investigation it was possible to identify that there was no encryption or data sequestration. The PF classified the attack as not relevant.
The investigation indicates that the attack was made by hackers looking for what is called graffiti, when the intention is to just drop pages, prevent temporary access to the system, or write something on the main page of a given website.
Asked by CNN During a press conference after the graduation of Navy aspirants, at the Naval Academy in Rio, President Jair Bolsonaro stated that he is “waiting for what can be done and to what extent it has caused a serious problem to health”.
