This is not the first incident of cyber attack on AIIMS. In November last year, a major cyber attack affected the entire system of AIIMS. Its effect was seen on centralized records and other hospital services. The attackers had blocked access to user data. Due to the cyber attack, the work of AIIMS had to be done manually for several days. At that time it was feared that the cyber attack had started from China.
