All services continue to be managed manually…
New Delhi: On Friday, the investigation into AIIMS Delhi's server remaining down for the third day continued even as patient care services were managed manually, officials said.
Sources said internet services at the premier medical institute have been blocked as per the recommendations of the investigating agencies.
"Investigation into the incident and efforts to bring back the digital patient care services are going on.
Actions to prevent such major attacks are being planned. We hope to be able to restore the affected activities soon," the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) said in a statement.
Amid the cyber security scare, all emergency and routine patient care, and laboratory services continue to be managed manually, it said. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-IN), Delhi Police and Ministry of Home Affairs representatives are continuing their work to resolve the matter, official sources told news agency PTI.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has also joined in, they said.
Four physical servers arranged for restoring e-Hospital services have been scanned and prepared for the databases and applications, they said. Another source said 15 out of around 50 servers and 400 out of around 5,000 endpoint computers have been scanned using antivirus, and the activity is ongoing.
"Internet services are blocked as recommended by the investigating agencies," the official source said.
With the server down, the outpatient and inpatient digital hospital services, including smart lab, billing, report generation and the appointment system, remained severely affected.
On Thursday, the Delhi Police had registered a case in the cyber-attack against AIIMS Delhi servers which have been down since 7 am on Wednesday.
