Weda Restores Limited Access After Cyberattack Disrupts French Healthcare Software

A controlled restart prioritizes data protection pending the outcome of breach investigations.

Overview

  • Access to the Weda platform was suspended Monday evening after an attempted intrusion, with essential features partially restored around 09:30 Friday in a secured, controlled environment.
  • Weda says initial analyses indicate malicious access may have allowed partial data extraction, but the scope and any confirmed leak remain undetermined.
  • The data regulator CNIL and cybersecurity agency ANSSI have been notified, and the company has filed a formal complaint.
  • The outage pushed many clinicians to paper-based workflows, temporarily cutting off electronic access to patient records, previous prescriptions, consultation notes and test results.
  • Weda serves tens of thousands of practitioners—23,000 clients by the company’s count at end-2024—and is based near Montpellier within the Vidal group.
