Cyber incidents in healthcare settings in Europe from May 2022 to April 2023 with potential health impacts

This data set provides the list of cyber incidents in Europe with possible health impacts we identified using Europe Media Monitor (EMM) tool from the 1st of May 2022 to the 30th of April 2023. The data set also supplies the list of keywords we used to configure EMM.

The primary objective of this activity was to assess whether there is and the quantity of information on incidents a) with significant potential health impacts (e.g. delayed treatment) and b) to determine whether there were reports that indicated consequences on patients’ health (e.g. death, deterioration of health).

Our search was conducted for media publishing in English, German, Italian, French and Spanish. It therefore did not cover all languages spoken in the EU and the results may not be representative for the entire European Union.
