A blood donation center that services hospitals across the southeastern U.S., is investigating a ransomware attack targeting its computer system.
A cyberattack on the nonprofit blood donation center OneBlood is stifling operations at an organization that normally services more than 350 hospitals across four states, the Orlando-based organization announced on Wednesday.The breach, which was first reported by CNN, targeted OneBlood's software system and is being investigated as a ransomware event — where hackers break into a company's online network and essentially block access to important files until a ransom is paid.
Because the work takes much longer to perform manually than it would with the organization's digital system up and running, OneBlood has less inventory than usual to distribute out to its partners and is urging more people to donate.'In an effort to further manage the blood supply we have asked the more than 250 hospitals we serve to activate their critical blood shortage protocols and to remain in that status for the time being,' Forbes said.
