IoM Government computer systems not affected by attacks

Mon, 15 May 2017

The Manx Government insists its computer systems haven't been affected by recent cyber-attacks.

A number of Government organisation, companies and organisations around the world were targetted last week, including the NHS.

The Island's Cabinet Office confirmed its computer systems, including the health care system, were not involved.

Government Technology Services revealed an update to its software in March blocked the malicious code that resulted in the cyber-attacks elsewhere.

GTS also says it will be actively monitoring for further threats.
