The health portal of Gesy was down on Tuesday for several hours, sparking problems with access to patient records but came back online early afternoon.
“We are facing a technical problem. This is not the result of a government cyberattack,” the Health Insurance Organisation (HIO) PR and communications head Alexia Makridou told the Cyprus News Agency.
“Everyone is working intensively” to resolve the issue she said.
Makridou said the problem emerged on Monday, it was resolved but reappeared on Tuesday at 8am.
At around 2pm, Makridou announced the Gesy site was back up.
A slew of services have been hit by cyber attacks in the past few days including the government’s own web portal, Hermes Airport, Bank of Cyprus, Cyta and electricity authority.
Police spokesman Christos Andreou said on Monday that police control systems at airports and all checkpoints in Cyprus have been restored after the country was targeted by six cyberattacks over the weekend.
Meanwhile, the interior ministry announced that the public on Monday was served without delay by the district land registry office in Larnaca, despite a technical problem in the electricity supply system.
The ministry dismissed press reports that all actions had been cancelled, adding that the technical problem had been solved immediately.
All appointments were on time and the public was served without delay, the ministry said.
