There seems to be an awful lot of cases in schools in Cork in recent weeks.

A few weeks ago, it was Youghal and Midleton. Then Carrigaline and Douglas, followed by Ballincollig and Cloghroe were affected. Rathcormac and Fermoy were particularly badly hit last week but this week it seems to be schools in the north of the city.

Yesterday, and the day before, they were trying to control traffic into the Blackpool testing centre. I've never seen anywhere near that volume of cars before, at any stage.

Didn't I hear that they are running Windows 7 which is obsolete and only getting tech support from Microsoft under special license?

surely it'd be cheaper (and easier to administer) to upgrade?

Basic error probably the tip of the iceberg.

If my original post my misleading I’ll clarify it now, parts of the HSE were still running those old operating systems and your only as strong as your weakest link.

Ya, more than likely older lab systems are still on XP. But, the outer protection Web facing servers (firewalled off from internal systems) would all be up to date I'm sure.
As another poster mentioned, there isn't a 100% secure IT system - everything has flaws.

HSE were warned numerous times they were wide open to this. Servers nearly 20 years still in use. Windows XP operating systems with out proper encryption etc. it’s not a surprise they got in but what is a surprise is how long they were in the system watching things before locking the HSE out

I thought HSE would have good high tech quality IT security but I guess nothing is 100% safe from an hacking attack

XP!

Good grief. Well, this is a hard way to learn that lesson.

Fair play to any healthcare workers still going about their jobs in the midst of all this chaos. As if they didn't have enough problems.

I bought a metal coin from Dublin fire brigade last year as a pandemic souvenir (gifted in to my brother).
