Nonprofit medical organization OneBlood, which plays a crucial role in serving facilities across the Southeastern US, has been targeted in a ransomware attack which caused an IT systems outage, causingover 250 hospitals to activate critical blood shortage protocols.
The move disrupted services across multiple US states, with the organization operating at a ‘significantly reduced capacity’ - meaning whilst OneBlood continues to collect, test, and distribute blood, it had to return to using manual labelling process, which significantly slows work.
