Minister of Health Marcelo QuirogaHe stated, on Thursday (16), that Connect SUS – The platform that provides, for example, proof of vaccination against Covid-19 – is expected to be back in operation by the end of the week. And the internal systems, according to the minister, returned to the air this morning.
“The intranet of the ministry has already been re-established and Conecta SUS is moving forward so that it can return as soon as possible,” Quiroga told reporters at the entrance to the ministry’s headquarters. He added that the idea is to restructure the platform used by citizens on Tuesday (14).
However, the new criminal invasion delayed the return. “There has been another hacker attack, and we are looking for all means to provide greater security, even though there is no complete security,” the minister asked.
The new attack occurred from Sunday (12) to Monday (13) and led to the hacking of the emails, phones and internet of the Ministry of Health, so that employees were released from work, and the Federal Police was called to investigate the invasion.
In addition to Conecta SUS, other platforms have been targeted by criminals such as the Coronavirus Panel, with updated data from Covid-19 and DataSUS, the IT division of SUS. Other bodies have also been invaded, including the CGU (Controller General of the Federation), PRF (Federal Highway Police) and IFPR (Federal Institute of Parana).
The first attack took place last Friday (10). At the time, the ministry even announced the suspension of vaccination certificate fees for travelers entering the country. But the Minister of the STF (Supreme Court) Luis Roberto Barroso Select the immediate obligation to collect. In doing so, Anvisa (the national health monitoring agency) began complying with the court’s decision.
