The minister of health, Marcelo Queiroga, said this Friday (10) in Belo Horizonte, he hoped to find and “exemplify” the authors of the hacker attack on websites and on the Connect SUS system. He also stated that there is a way to retrieve the data.
“It’s a very big loss. Criminal people that we hope to find and punish exemplarily,” he said in the capital of Minas Gerais, where he has a schedule of visits to hospitals. The statements were given to TV Globo.
The minister mentioned advances that technology brings to medicine, but he also mentioned what he called “the other side”. “There are vulnerabilities, criminal people who invade the Ministry of Health, creating harm to people,” he said.
Queiroga guaranteed that the folder has a way to recover the information. “But these data will not be lost. The Ministry of Health has all the data. It’s just a matter of recovering these data,” he said.
The Ministry of Health’s website went offline in the early hours of this Friday. While trying to access the website, users encountered a message stating that the system data had been copied and deleted and was in the hands of the attacking group.
“Contact us if you want the data back”, says the message.
Minutes later, the message disappeared, but the site remained down. The Connect SUS platform, which provides the national vaccination certificate, also went off the air.
In a statement, the Ministry of Health said that the attack “temporarily compromised some systems in the folder, such as e-SUS Notifica, Information System of the National Immunization Program (SI-PNI), ConectaSUS and features such as the issuance of the National Certificate of Covid-19 Vaccination and the National Digital Vaccination Card, which are currently unavailable.”
The folder also said that the Institutional Security Office (GSI) and the Federal Police have already been activated and that the SUS IT Department (Datasus) is seeking to reestablish the platforms.
On social networks, people who managed to access the Connect SUS application report the disappearance of information about vaccination.
When you click on the vaccines item, the app displays the message: “Wait up to 10 business days for your vaccine record to appear on ConectaSUS, if not, look for the health establishment where you took the vaccine and request registration in the National Data Network in Health (RNDS), of the Ministry of Health”.
There are also reports of difficulty logging in and using other functions.
