OneBlood is a non-profit organization that provides blood and blood products to over 300 hospitals and medical facilities across the U.S. Southeast. The organization collects, tests, and distributes blood to ensure a steady supply for needy patients.
A disruptive ransomware attack hit OneBlood and disrupted its medical operations. OneBlood is still operational and continues its activities, but is functioning at a significantly reduced capacity.
The organization is remediating and investigating the security breach with the help of cyber security specialists, along with federal, state and local agencies.
“OneBlood, the not-for-profit blood center serving much of the southeastern United States is experiencing a ransomware event that is impacting its software system.” reads the statement published by the organization.
