Haute‑Comté intercommunal hospital ransomware forces full IT shutdown and paper operations

In the night of October 18–19, 2025, a 'cryptolocker'-type ransomware attack struck the Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal de Haute‑Comté, prompting a complete shutdown of its hospital information system and a switch to paper-based procedures across multiple sites. ARS Bourgogne‑Franche‑Comté reported a total SIH interruption and sustained constraints, with limited application access months later and full normalization not expected before 2027.
