US blood donation giant warns of disruption after ransomware attack


New York Blood Center said it does not have a "specific timetable for system restoration" following the attack, which has led to canceled appointments and delays

NYBC said in a statement on Wednesday that the organization detected suspicious activity on its IT systems on January 26, which it has since confirmed was a ransomware attack. “We understand the critical nature of our services, and the health of our communities remains our top priority,” the blood center said in Wednesday’s statement. “We remain in direct communication with our hospital partners and are implementing workarounds to help restore services and fulfill orders.”
