New York Blood Center (NYBC)

The New York Blood Center, a key non-profit blood bank in operation since 1964, supplies vital blood resources to around 200 hospitals in the Northeast United States. An unfortunate ransomware attack disrupted their IT systems, leading to appointment rescheduling. This incident occured at a critical moment when the NYBC was already facing a blood emergency due to declining donations and a concurrent rise in COVID cases. The attack's timing aggravated their operational challenges, although the extent of data compromise and its direct effects on patients or blood donors remain unclear.
