An IT company that works for a number of Luxembourg doctors' offices has fallen victim to a major cyberattack. As reporter.lu writes on Monday, at least 80 medical practices have been affected.

The company at the centre of the incident, BMS Engineering, was also the one that installed the Immediate Direct Payment (PID) used by doctors. As reporter.lu writes, the affected practices risk losing at least some of their data.

Déi Gréng (Green) MP Djuna Bernard already tabled a parliamentary question to Health Minister Martine Deprez on Monday afternoon, asking, in particular, whether data has in fact been lost and what lessons the government intends to draw from the incident.
