New York Blood Center

The New York Blood Center (NYBC) experienced a ransomware attack leading to the disruption of its operations, including the rescheduling of appointments. While the center continues to accept blood donations, processing times may be delayed. The attack's timing exacerbated the already critical situation due to a recent blood emergency declared following a decline in donations and a rise in COVID cases. There has been no confirmation about the exfiltration of sensitive data, and restoration efforts for affected systems are ongoing without a specified timeline for full recovery.
