HIO says Gesy website outage was not a hacking

Problems faced by the health insurers’ organisation (HIO)’s IT system which resulted in Gesy’s health portal going down for several hours last month were in no way related to any data security issues, the HIO’s deputy director-general Efi Kammitsi said on Wednesday.

Speaking to the Cyprus News Agency, she said the issues experienced were “purely due to a system efficiency problem which is being resolved by the contracting company and in no way concerns any issues of data security or a collapse thereof”.
