A little bit more detail <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/waikato-dhb-outage-could-take-days-to-fix-union-says-after-cyber-security-attack/V2Q3ESGHZC3KPHUUQ7R7PNNRWU/>: all phones and computers are down, and a doctors’ union is saying it could take days to fix. The Ministry of Health is describing it as an “attempted cyber incident” that happened overnight. It’s not clear what was being “attempted”, given the “attemptors” have already successfully knocked out major critical systems for a significant duration.
