On March 11, 2025, at 3:00 PM Yap Department of Health Services IT unit detected a cyberattack ransomware on the network. In response, the whole network was taken offline. As a result, the Department now doesn’t have internet connectivity, and all computers are returned off to prevent further damage. DHS is working with the FSM Department of Health and Social Affairs and private IT contractors to assess the extent of the infiltration, determine what data has been breached, and to get services back online as soon as possible at the moment. Email communication through the health servers and all digital health systems are shut down. The Department reassured the public that services are continuing but asked for your patience and understanding as the services will be slower than before due to the disruptions. The Department will issue updates as the situation develops.
